"Change" is a big word

Have you ever had 1 of those days where you just feel like you need a major change in your life, yet at the same time, you're afraid of such a change? Such a change can sometimes promise to be exciting, perhaps also more challenging, but oh....the fear of shaking your comfortable, secure ground can really hold you back.

Questions, questions, questions.... . "What if" is a marriage of 2 words that should never have been allowed together. "What if I can't handle the change?" "What if I fail?" "What if I don't like the change?" "What if this?" "What if that?"

So yeah...if every one live their lives filled with "What ifs", I don't suppose we'd be able to boast today about having had man walk on the moon, would we? You either do or you don't. If you sit around and conjure up imaginary "What if" scenerios, then someone else who's in "ready to go" mode will simply overtake you.

When that happens, or when the opportunity passes you by without you taking any action because of your hestitation, then you're left with yet another pair of useless words that should also never have been allowed together:

"If only"
