The 2 ways of looking at the world

When I want to really go for something, I tend to evaluate my options.

I used to often think of the worst-case scenario, and see if I have the tools and ability to overcome the worst case.

When I felt like even the worst would not be THAT bad, or THAT unimaginable, it gave me the courage to go for it.

However, this mentality always held me back. I was thinking of what could go wrong and preparing for it while missing out on what could really go right. There is good in knowing that even in the worst case, you can bounce back, but it starts becoming a problem when you spend more time thinking and preparing for the worst, and miss out on the good.

When you think of what could really go right, you feel happier in the present moment. The happiness of the future makes even your present brighter. The opposite is also true. When you think of all that can go wrong, the smile on your face is sure to vanish, and a more focused, serious look is more likely to grace your face.

And life can offer you both.

The worst-case scenario and/or the best-case scenario.

So I invite you to think of the best-case scenario for your dreams.

I challenge you to think of the wildest, something that may seem unimaginable to you now and a daring scenario for the future that you would like to happen.

Something that may not be in your reach right now, but once achieved would feel incredible. Just the thought of it may feel you with a smile, disbelief, and bliss.

A lot can go wrong, but a lot can go right too.

I invite you to feel the positive energy from that future success and let that happiness also positively affect your present.
