I heard this song on the radio yesterday sung by 2008 Nashville Star winner Melissa Lawson. The lyrics - which I will post after my entry - really struck me. For most of my 20's I was the girl that spent too much time worrying "what if" the bad thing happened. And I suppose, sadly enough, that fear kept me from doing a lot of things I wanted to do.
So here I am, now in my 30's, finally starting to consistently feel like "what if" something good happens. And now that I'm in this new place where I can see more good, I have the perspective to understand that for every bad "what if" you think, you can just as easily think a good "what if". We are all going to face things in life that are scary, challenging, frustrating, etc. But what if when faced with those things there's something great waiting on the other side? What if it all went right, well then life would be pretty darn good!
What if that road that you’re taking’s a dead end
What if love leaves you all jaded and broken
What if that limb breaks you’re climbing out on
Yeah, what if it all goes wrong
But, what if it all goes right
What if it all works out
What if the stars line up
and good luck rains down
What if you chase your dreams
and it changes your whole life
Yeah, what if it all goes right
What if that road is a beautiful slow drive
what if that love ends up lasting a life time
what if that limb holds you, oak tree strong
what if this time nothing goes wrong
What if it all goes right
What if it all works out
What if the stars line up
and good luck rains down
What if you chase your dreams
and it changes your whole life
Yeah, what if it all goes right
What if you climb to the mountain top
and touch the sky
grab a cloud as it passes by
you might fall you might fall
but then again you might fly
What if it all goes right
What if it all works out
What if the stars line up
and good luck rains down
What if you chase your dreams
and it changes your whole life
Yeah, what if it all goes right

I like this idea!
Good one, my word verification is sockers
There is a song that I love that has a very similar theme, it's by Coldplay and it's called "What If"
Won't post the whole song, but here are the lyrics that I LOVE:
Every step that you take
Could be your biggest mistake
It could bend or it could break
That's the risk that you take
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there in your life
That you don't want me there by your side
Ooh ooh-ooh, that's right
Let's take a breath, jump over the side
Ooh ooh-ooh, that's right
How can you know when you don't even try
Ooh ooh-ooh, that's right
