Part 2 of 3
The What Might Have Beens
"I'm ready this time..
I know that I'm, no longer undecided..
Don't want to be..
a fool wondering, what might have been." - Lou Pardini
The ever classic Lou Pardini's "What Might Have Been". I will have to quote his wonderful song on this topic.
For me, the What Might Have Beens is simply the outcome of the What Ifs that you did not push through with. Here you are brainstorming on what to do, thinking of the scenarios and possibilities of a particular course of action that you want to take. But do you take it? Are you ready to face the consequences or rewards of your actions?
Hesitations. Apprehensions. Simply undecided? you don't want to take the risk so you back down. This is where the What Might Have Beens come in. Later in your life you realize that you should have made that move, made that decision because now you feel in your heart and mind that it was the best thing to do. Too bad you didn't go for it because, it could have been something, it must have been something, What Might Have Been something, really really good or special.
So does it end there? Is there anything you can do to go back and change things? (Try building a Time Machine, that might work) Unfortunately you can't. For one obvious reason, there is no way you can actually travel back in time. So get over that idea. I have.
So can you pave a new path along that line? If you can't change the past, why not move forward and make things happen for the future instead? Would you agree? If you come across that similar situation that you missed out on, now you have a better understanding of things. If you consider all the good elements, now is your chance to "Man Up" and grab that opportunity and make things happen.
Because now your ready...now your no longer undecided...and now you are not a fool wondering What Might Have Been.
