What If - Playing the Unhappy Hypothetical and Maybe Game

"What if ...?" Have you ever heard someone say, "What if ___? What if ___? What if ___?" until you are utterly emotionally exhausted by the countless possible scenarios and uselessness of playing the unhappy hypothetical and maybe game?

Whenever I begin to hear the wide array of hypothetical scenarios and find myself being pulled in conversation into the maybe game, I employ a life coaching technique called exaggeration.

I respond by taking the maybe game and unhappy hypothetical possibilities to the next level by saying, "Maybe you will get hit by a bus today. Maybe you have ants in your pants. Maybe you won't get the job or will get fired because you have a booger in your nose."

Usually the what ifs and fear within a person shortly after these type of remarks is jarred and silenced, often overcome by laughter as to the extent of the foolishness they have succumb to by allowing themselves to conjure up the worst possible "what if" and unhappy hypothetical scenarios in their maybe game.

On and on the unhappy hypothetical and maybe game goes! What if scenarios are emotionally exhausting and mentally draining.

Don't play the maybe game, nor participate in mental masturbation. Silence the unhappy hypothetical what if scenarios that arise in your mind or are unpleasantly spoken of excessively by others.

Keep a positive attitude, childlike faith, pinpoint your passion, lock into your purpose and go for it happily and boldly throwing caution to the wind!
