What would I be? Heard this question ever, from within? Or heard it in the form of what would you be, if not this? The very idea of imagining what “might” have been is always exciting and gives a respite from the mundane daily thoughts. It brings that degree of uncertainty within the thoughts and gives greater room for imagination. We all want to be so much more than what we all are. We all want to be different, we want different people, we need different environment and we all are craving for diffrent sets of emotions for ourselves. But how often do we really think this critically for the things we had but we never attended to properly?
What would I be? Why don’t we ever ask – what else could I be? Would is such an imaginative supposition. Could makes you responsible for the action. We all must sometime take turns at thinking of what else we could be in the long run of life. Choices ranging from career to friends, from the selection of a home to the dearly tourist spot all could’ve been completely different by the brink of a different thought. What would it feel like? Once your start creating these scenarios in your head, you will realize that you’ve been, mostly on the safer and better side of what life has offered you.
While this might sound like a rough and random generalisation, try this out to believe it. It would be the best feeling to see through all you could’ve been and all you are. Most of these comparisons would come or positive for you.
The point that I wish to raise here is not a debate between what I am and what I could’ve been. No, definitely not. What I want you to understand, that most events in our lives ultimately make things easier for us. We must be grateful to what we’re into and what we’re upto. After all, it’s just the matter of could vs would.
Always ranting,
