What if..?

by Paola Tinajero
October 30, 2009

There are so many questions in our life about the future, but what about the present? What's going on right now? Well, state that: Yes, it is good to talk about the future. I mean, what if tomorrow I win the lottery and I am able to buy a house? Or, what if nothing happens and everything is just the same like yesterday. A lot of what “if’s” and nobody asks themselves, what I'm going to do right now to change my tomorrow? My future... but what if I just cannot do it? Nothing is impossible! In the world, we wanted to fly, so we created airplanes. We wanted to travel faster; we created cars.Life is meant to create things based on our necessities. Therefore, we should never ask ourselves, what if?

A lot of people including myself wake up every morning asking what if I get sick and I skip high school/work, or what if the guy/girl I like tells me that he/she likes me, too. I mean, we shouldn't ask ourselves that because we should live life with no repressions, with no limits, with no questions. We need to have fun, to be happy with every choice we make. Life is as long or short as you want, so let me ask you this question: why do we ask ourselves, what if....?

I agree with you, my point of view for this is that yes, many people live asking themselfs ¨what if...¨ but we dont have to worry about our past nor our future, we need to live life and enjoy how it is. Its good to think what youre going to be when you grow up, but everything has its moment. If youre a kid now, then go have fun and dnt worry about the future. Your future will be how you want it to be.

Is true what you know what could happend tomorrow yor post is really good, and you put me to think, I really think that putting your opinion makes easier to the reader to understand the perpective of the sebject, Im sure you are not the only one that think like you.

Very very true, everybody ask questions about the future; but as it is said in the article, we must focus on the present. That confidence and trust in yourself is needed in every person in order to make a better life. I think we all have to agree on the following:
Live life with no repressions, with no limits, with no questions. We need to have fun, to be happy with every choice we make.

it is true because I think they all ask that question and living by getting their own barriers and do not enjoy every moment of your life.

Is important think in the future , is important to think in what’s going happen to us , is important take decisions with responsibility but this doesn’t means that we sometimes can’t do crazy things with our friends , its possible made crazy things but all time we have to take care what we are going to do , because we can hurt someone with our actions…

I think that in every morning we wake up we should give ourselves a goel to reach. In that way we would have something to fight for or life for that day or the rest of the days of our lifes. But of course, smiling, been happy.

we need to be confident, secure and have positivism think we can make great things, we need to put ourselves goals or objetives and we need to reach the goals, because the life isnt about what if i die today? no, we need to live free, with no pressions only with the goals we want to reach in our minds.. "we can do what we want"
