When I was talking to one of my friends today, he mentioned how he was thinking about asking this guy out. I was excited to hear he was taking a chance since he has been talking about this guy for a long time. 

I asked him when he was planning to do it and he said, “I am not sure exactly when. I am afraid that when I ask him out he will say no. This will cause it to be awkward and with my luck he will tell all his friends about it. They will laugh at me and then I will never get a date in this town again.”

I responded by saying, ” True but you could ask him out and he bursts into tears because he has been waiting his whole life for someone to take a chance on love with him and he is glad it is you. He has wanted to kiss you since the first day he saw you and he now gets to taste your sugar lips.”

So which one is most likely to happen? Who knows. This is all about the future and unfortunately we do not have a crystal ball to predict how life will turn out. We have to just live in the present and take risks to help us live the life we want. 

We can spend a lifetime developing all the “what ifs” that could happen if we do or don’t do something. We think they are preparing us but instead they are keeping us from living life. 

What if you stop thinking about all the “what ifs” and experienced life as it happens? You wouldn’t have time to ponder this because you would be too busy enjoying what life has to bring.
