Scattered Thoughts (2.21.12)

Life has a way of throwing you into the unexpected. Your mind wanders, thinking of all these scenarios that could happen, and ways to avoid things you don't want to happen. "If this turn out like that then I could do this", or "if only I never did that then this would've happened". We tend to focus on the "if" in life and forget that not what it's about. I find myself going through a bunch of "if" thoughts when I feel uncertain about things. Then I remember that "if" is just an excuse, another way to put a blame on something that no one had any control over in the first place. Sure there are ways to incorporate the word "if" in your vocabulary without it being so negative. "if" can't help it that it's used in such a manner, so I shouldn't be so mean. Anyhow there really is no reason to bring up the past with "if" on the mind or try to control the uncertainty of what's to come. Just know that whatever it may be learn from what you have done and go on with an opened mind.- Tajlyn
