I cannot remember exactly how many times “what if...” stopped me from realizing myself. In the process of making a big desicion, “what if...” appeared suddenly and stalked me. Here are a few sentences that start with very promising desicions but end in negative thoughts, being a captive of WHAT IF...

I will take the TOEFL exam but what if...?

I will open up my business but what if...?

I will marry but what if...?              

I will end my relationship but what if...?

I would like to have a baby but what if...?

After “what if” followed a set of negative sentences, not negative in terms of sentence structure but in terms of meaning. Negative sentences zap the energy of your intentions or plans. What if’s do not serve for any other purpose but consume your positive energy up. When your positive energy is consumed, you accept failure. When the fear of failure takes the control of your thoughts, you never attain your goals. What happens when you do not attain your goals? You know the answer.

In addition to this, what if’s discourage you to dwell in the “NOW” and they do not let you make the most of NOW. They rush you to worry about the future which has not come yet, or which is not yet to come at all – since we do not know whether we will make it to the next moment or not. Enjoy NOW. Seize NOW. Capture the joy of NOW. Embrace the beauty of NOW. It is all about NOW. 

STAY IN NOW & ENJOY IT NOW.

"Watch your thoughts for they become words.

Watch your words for they become actions.

Watch your actions for they become habits.

Watch your habits for they become character.

And watch your character for they become your destiny.

What we think, we become."

The iron lady, Margaret Thatcher, left this world but she left a lot of admirable things behind. She faced ups and downs of her life, including her political life, with a great deal of courage. What I truly admire about her is that she is a self-made woman! The road that she walked along was not a flat one but she climbed up the ladder of success with her unyielding courage and for that I bow down before her with admiration and respect! :)

May she rest in peace!

Hey you. Yes you.

Stop being unhappy with yourself. You are perfect. Stop wishing you liked someone else, or wishing people liked you as much as they like someone else. Stop trying to get attention from those who hurt you. Stop hating your body, your face, your personality, your quirks. Love them. Without those things you wouldn't be you. And, why would you want to be anyone else? Be confident with who you are. Smile. It'll draw people in. If anyone hates on you because you are happy with yourself, then you stick your middle finger in the air, and say screw it! Your happiness will not be depended on anyone anymore. Life is too short to be perfect. Love your imperfections, they make you, you. And your flaws are what make you beautiful. So, be you. Because you are pretty amazing.

Hello Seyif,

I am not going anywhere. I was saying goodbye to Margaret Thatcher, Britain's only woman prime minister, who died on 8th April. 

I am not thinking about leaving EB or my friends. Don't worry! :)

Hello my dear friends, Jo, Seyif, Mahtab and Marishka,

I do not know how to say "sorry, sorry, sorry..." for my delayed response and not appearing in EB in a long while. I was undergoing some tough time in my life about making some big desicions about some business plans. I would not really want to leave you wondering about me but I am sure you will understand me very well. 

Seyif, I read your comment in today's lesson and felt a bit guilty even though you did not mention my name among your friends but EB is such an addictive website that once it allures you, you cannot stop dropping by here every day, every hour and sometimes every minute. I am speaking from experience. I have been staying here for 6 years, so if EB were not tempting, I would have left long ago and never came back. :)

Anyway, you are all missed and loved, my friends!

I guess, it s not necessary being pretty.

What does pretty mean ? for some ppl a curvy girl

for others a man with good shape, for others

a human, kindhearted and open minded.

I guess, the last attributes are more important than having a nice face

and everlasting smile...........

Am I right ??
