If I had enough “guts”…

If I had money…

If I had a better education…

If I could get that job…

If I had good health…

If I only had time…

If I had that background…

If times were better…

If other people understood me…

If conditions around me were only different…

If I could live my life over again…

If I did not fear what “they” would say…

If I had been given a chance…

If I now had a chance…

If I were only younger…

If I could only do what I want…

If I had been born rich…

If I could meet “the right people”…

If I had the talent that some people have…

If I dared assert myself…

If I only had embraced past opportunities…

If people didn’t get on my nerves…

If I didn’t have to look after children…

If I didn’t have to keep house…

If I didn’t have to follow my partner…

If my family understood me…

If I were only free…

If I had the personality of some people…

If I were not so fat…

If I were more beautiful…

If I only knew how…

If I didn’t have so many worries…

If people weren’t so dumb…

If my family were supportive…

If I were sure of myself…

If I didn’t have a “past”…

If luck was not against me…

If I could just get started…

If the boss only appreciated me more…

If I only had somebody to help me…

If I lived in a big city…

If I had the talent that some people have…

If I had the experience that some people have…

If I could marry the right person…

If I could save some money…

If I didn’t have to work so hard…

If I hadn’t lost my money…

If I lived in a different neighbourhood…

If I only had a business of my own…

If other people would only listen to me…

If I was a leader…

If I could just forget that…

 

 

What’s your “if”?
