I like asking the question, "what if?"
Not the dumb "what if"s. Not the ones that ruin relationships and emotional stability and confidence in life. Not "what if he doesn't like me?", or "what if I die tomorrow?", maybe sometimes "what if I fail this test?"I don't like asking those.
I like asking the
open-ended,
soul-searching,
dream-catching
questions.
What if I had all the money I wanted?Where would I go? What would I see? What kinds of food would I buy and make? Who would I help? Whose lives would I change? What good could I do?
What if I had all the time in the world?
What would I learn? What talents would I develop and improve upon? What would I do with my time? How much service could I provide? How many paintings would I paint, poems would I read, and philosophizing would I do?
What if ... ?
And after I figure out the answers to my "what if"s.. I want to make them happen.
