Today’s HDD blog asks a question that warrants some consideration. That question is “What if?” How many times a day do you ask yourself that very question? Unfortunately, there is no real answer, but it doesn’t mean we don’t wonder how the outcome may have been different if only we knew “What if?”
HOW?
Whether it is good, bad, right, or wrong, every situation results in an outcome. Maybe you agree or maybe you don’t. If you don’t, you may ask yourself a few questions. How you could have been more influential in the big scheme of things and why exactly do you care? Think about a few things when hoping for or influencing a favorable outcome.
ZERO CREDIT
I read an article recently and felt a few thoughts were worthy of sharing, unfortunately it is unclear who deserves credit. Allow me to share their thought-provoking ideas (thank you whoever you are.)
When it comes to influence and having more of it, it comes down to three things.
- Being likable, authentic, and friendly so that people can trust you. You know, the “know-like-trust” factor.
- Consistently sharing your voice no matter what the loud minority thinks. It is in the silent majority where your impact is truly felt.
- Finding your why. It is the biggest secret to success. It is what keeps us going even when we get bogged down by imposter syndrome or feel like we are not influential enough. It’s that purpose that keeps driving one forward to crush your goals.
BACK THAT TRUCK UP!
Let’s get back to our original question. What if? If you could change what you said or did to influence or change the outcome, would you? I imagine we all have regrets or wish we had a “do over.” Many times we do but often we don’t. No one wants to live with regret. Tap into your authentic self. Respectfully say what you mean and mean what you say. You may not always win the popular vote however, if you can look yourself in the mirror and sleep at night, you should call yourself a success.

There are things you may want to consider to avoid regret and influence a more positive outcome where your health is concerned. Treat your body well, eat properly, get active, stay hydrated, get enough sleep, and get your health checked. Do your part! If you have symptoms or concerns, don’t hesitate. Avoid asking yourself “What if? Early detection saves lives!
