"'What' and ‘if’ two words as nonthreatening as words come. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: ‘What if?'..."
This comes from the movie, 'Letters from Juliet'. A woman was writing to 'Juliet', the patron of love, asking for advice about an improbable love scenario. Without giving away the movie (which is worth the watch) - this quote above is part of a response the woman received.
Is there something in your life that you could look back one day and say, 'what if...'? Is there someone you are holding back from, or something you have limited yourself from doing - because it is easier or less risky? I challenge you to live your life today. Don't look back and wonder what could have been. Can you go after that 'what if' today? Even if it doesn't go the way you hoped, it doesn't hurt by putting yourself out there, and when you are following your heart, you can't help but live passionately!
I'd rather look back at my life and say, 'wow! I took some chances! What a wild ride!' Instead of, "I wonder what would have happened if...?' What about you?
(Bonus dare: go watch, 'Letters from Juliet!')
