What If?

Our mind conjures up all the possibilities. The diagnostic test might show, might not show and from that we weave all the permutations of what happens for each of the outcomes.

If I apply for that position and leave this position what may happen? People get stuck because they spend too much time worried about the what ifs.

The risk takers covet the place of not knowing. It is in that space that one comes face to face with fears and strengths.

The believers trust that their belief will encompass whatever uncertainties arise.

In the world of art the innovators moved ahead dragging behind them those who waited to see how the critics reacted to the new direction.

Some people take giant steps, others move a bit slower aware of the reactions of others—and then the rest stay back to see what emerges before they take a step.

I expect that those who chose the careful way miss out on some of the surprises—and pitfalls.
