What if…
I had the oppotunity to watch ‘Back to the future’ by Steven Spielberg. Something from the film struck me really hard. The feeling hit me when Marty McFly, played by Micheal J. Fox, said this,
“What if I send it in and they don’t like it? What if they say I’m no good? What if they say “Get out of here, kid. You got no future.”? I mean, I just don’t think I can take that kind of rejection. Jesus, I’m starting to sound like my old man!”
It made me think of all the ‘what ifs’ I’ve been asking myself these few days. My mind has been a huge swirl. Confusion perhaps. Uncertainty about the future. About a thousand ‘what ifs’ have been flashing through my head the past few days I’ve decided to just shut it out.

Thing is, I guess, you will never know the outcome unless you give it a shot. You will never know if you will look back in regret. You will never know if you’ll ever get another shot at it. You’ll just really never know… perhaps until it’s too late. As McFly says later,
“If you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything.”
Perhaps the only choice we have is to set our hearts to our decision and never look back. Perhaps thats the only way I can think of right now.
