I’ve been thinking about the all-too-frequent disconnect between what I want to have as true in my life, those someday fantasies, and what actually is.
Is it possible that I’m the one who is creating and perpetuating the gap between the two? Is it possible that by closing the gap in my own mind between someday and now that it wouldn’t exist at all? What if?
- What if I acted in ways that were consistent with what I believed to be most true about myself; that I’m confident, powerful, beautiful, talented, creative, wise, and amazing?
- What if I moved through the ins and outs of my day believing that I am totally, completely, and unconditionally loved?
- What if I functioned in relationship from a place of total generosity, complete safety, and risk-free abandon?
- What if I wrote and spoke from a place of deep and unswerving confidence in what I have to say, its worth, its intrinsic value?
- What if I created new offerings from a place of already feeling established, successful, known?
- What if I parented from a place of complete assurance in my girls’ future, safety, confidence, and security?
- What if I looked at money from the perspective of having (just) enough, of not struggling, of not even remembering what that was like?
- What if I made food/exercise/health choices from a place of strength, self-esteem, and no second-thought?
- What if I got dressed in the morning without ever looking in the mirror; confident of my beauty, poise, and presence?
- What if my actions with self and others came from a place of total rest, deep truth, and intense passion?
- What if I went to bed at night completely certain that I would wake the next morning feeling every bit as secure and strong as I did when I fell asleep at the end of another amazing day?
- What if I experienced myself as deeply and intimately connected to the Divine?
- What if I stopped saying “what if?”
Indeed, what if?
‘Might be worth the exercise: to write in free-association or even blog post as if, as though, and already in the realities I associate with “someday.”
‘Might be worth the exercise, no, the thrill of experiencing, articulating, and living them now!
‘Might be. Maybe. Pretty certain. Damn straight.
What are your what-ifs?
If you could create the perfect emotions, realities, beliefs, and practices, what would they be…and what if you actually lived as if they were already true, yours, real, and now?

Your words are always so incredibly powerful. Your writings move me beyond imagination. Thank you for being so special and for sharing so openly and honestly. Your light shines bright. And yes, I am also ENOUGH.

Thank you, Tracy. And yes, of course you are enough! More than!!!
Such powerful questions! I love questions. Answering them often brings about surprising realizations. I also like to ask “why” questions. Like, “why have I written a fabulous book that everyone loves?” or “why do I have more than enough money?” It is amazing what the mind will come up with when you frame things like this – it already knows how awesome you are!
Ooooh. I keep forgetting about these kind of questions. LOVE THEM! Thanks, my friend.
I think in what ifs but try to push them away. I don’t want to waste my nows on what ifs. That said, I can see where acting as if my what ifs were my nows would make life wonderful and the way I want it to be.
Nicki´s last [type] ..Operation Beautiful – Book Review
I’m with you, Nicki. It’s always a push-pull, isn’t it? Between fantasy and hope, between daydreams and goals, between someday and now. Somewhere in between the two feels important…always moving forward while recognizing where our feet our planted (and walking) in the midst.
