The Dark Side Of IF

If can release the imagination. How about if we did imagine we could land on the moon by the end of the decade? How about if we increased our prices? How about if I stopped the gym but started cycling everywhere? If can open doors, stimulate synapses and leap tall buildings. But perhaps like all heroes it has a dark side which lurks in the dark recesses of the mind. Which comes out to play at inconvenient times. Which can cause you to lose the business, lose the girl and damage your lycra. Which comes bundled with regret.That's If Only. If only we had rung them a day earlier. If only I had attended that college. If only I had known.

Don't do it. Don't dabble with If only. Ban it from your vocabulary for 2012.

Play with if.

You know it makes sense.
