What If It Does Work Out?
A hopeful reframe for the inner voice that expects the worst.
That inner voice—the one that jumps to worst-case scenarios, plays out every possible failure, and prepares you for disappointment “just in case”—it thinks it’s protecting you. But more often, it’s holding you back.
What if you gave that voice a new script?
What if instead of asking, “What if I fail?” you asked,
“What if it actually works out?”
What if the risk you’re afraid to take opens a new door?
What if the thing you’re dreaming about is possible in ways you can’t yet see?
What if people show up to support you?
What if you’re more capable than you’ve given yourself credit for?
What if you’re the person who is meant to bring that crazy idea to life?
What if on the way to what’s predictable the most amazing unpredictable happens?
Hope isn’t about ignoring the hard stuff, it’s about making space for what’s possible, even if it feels uncertain. It’s about letting yourself believe, even for a moment, that good things could happen.
So today, when fear tries to write the ending, interrupt it. Stop the chatter. Clear your thoughts.
Ask yourself What if it does work out?
And then take a step in that direction.
You might be closer than you think. Here’s to a great day today and an even better tomorrow.
