We’re really good at thinking up the worst-case scenario.
How many times in your life have you talked yourself into something you were thinking of doing using the line "What's the worst thing that can happen?” Immediately, your mind drums up all sorts of doomsday scenarios: the death of a dream you had, the relationship that ended because you spoke up about something you needed or wanted, the job you lost, the accident you had…all in vivid detail you allowed your mind to dream up.
What if we were to use the same mind that created all of those hypothetical doomsday scenarios to dream up what would be the BEST THING that could happen instead?
Imagine yourself being surprised by someone’s congenial reaction as opposed to their anger toward you? Dream that you got the promotion you dreamed of BECAUSE you spoke up or that your friend, lover, or sister forgave you after decades of distance instead of turning away from you for another decade.
The same mind that dreams in vivid detail about monsters, tragedies and the like while you are asleep is the very same mind that is fully capable of dreaming up the beauty headed your way.
Flip the script. Turn it on its head.
You’ll be surprised how your mood and outlook will instantly be upgraded when you do.
