"IF …"
If only
… If I had … If it was … If … If … … it goes on like this.
Is there
anyone out there in the world who has not wondered, even once that they would
have done this, or achieved something or gone somewhere or anything of that
sort IF only everything went the way they dreamt?
Why
there’s always an IF in front of your dreams? Why we have to have everything
ready on our plates before we step forward to do something? Are we scared of
failures or don’t we believe ourselves? Or we just don’t want to take any risks
to achieve our dreams?
I want
to solo travel around the world. If I had ample finance for that, or if convincing
my parents were not that hard, or if I could take a long break from work, I
might go for my dream trip.
I want to open a Book Café in my hometown. Again finance. If my place of residence where same as my hometown. What if my book café will not succeed …

Like
that for every dream of mine … there’s a lot of IFs …
I know I could tackle
all this, if I want, if I truly, dearly, whole-heartedly want. But somehow,
something and all is stopping me.
But
just think, if I just go for all this… awe! So much of happiness nah?
All of
us are somewhat like this. We keep on postponing our dreams and likes for
something or the other. Maybe time, money, family, society, peace or no reason
at all. We can’t do anything when everything comes in place. We’ll have to put
some things in place forcefully or else all that we want to achieve will just
remain in our bucket list itself, forever.
So instead
of IF once try saying YES.
It
might change your life for better.
Inspiring, Sheethal. If is an excuse which needs to be changed to Yes the action!

So true Sheetal. The big IF that holds us back make from taking that leap forward! Taking the risk and taking a bold step will definitely be a rewarding lesson for us!
