IF Only...

I found myself in a conversation recently, and as part of the conversation, I found myself thinking and saying, "if only" a ton.  And, it got me thinking about how insidious those words truly are.  There are so many possible outcomes to every decision we make in life, and If Only seems to only serve the purpose of romanticizing the ones we did not take.
Here is my list of If Only's for your reading pleasure!

If Only  I understood that I am in the perfect place right now.
If Only I trusted the Universe has the best plan for me.
If Only I could see how all of those "bad" decisions lead to the best moments of my life.
If Only I knew that this was perfect, exactly as it is.
If Only I would allow the miracle to show itself to me.
If Only I would understand that no one has it figured out.  And, no one's life is how they expected it would be.
If Only I remembered there is someone out there who would LOVE to have my problems (all of them, in bulk, happily, joyfully).
If Only I remembered how much I have in any given moment, instead of the one thing that is missing.
If Only I realized that life is made up of the little moments and thoses are the ones to treasure.
If Only I could see how brilliant, wonderful, and amazing I am right now (I don't need anything else).
If Only I could see myself the way so many in my life see me - the real me.
If Only I took all the time I spend thinking, analyzing, and worrying and invested it in making the world a better place.
If Only I remembered that this time will fly by; I will not remember this incident; and that so much good comes at me at every moment.

I can relate and it's such a good reminder to be more intentional with what we are saying and reflecting in our thoughts!
