Linda is the host of One Liner Wednesday
If we stopped using “if only” or “what if” in our conversation or even in our thinking, I personally feel that we would fare much better in life;
Wishful thinking starting with
If only…….
Or maybe
What if…….
It leads our hearts into an unending quagmire
We get so involved in what could’ve been or would’ve been
That we lose sight of what IS and what we have!
This week our prompt is;
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “if.”Start your post with the word “If.” Enjoy!

When we stop using the word if, we might as well stop dreaming, as if is not a practical word, but it does invade our dreams.

That’s exactly so, Sadje. How we create and think about our language directly impacts what we see and experience. Powerful, my friend.

Well said. The if only’s can keep dreams on hold and leave one feeling empty.
