The question : What if?

What If "xyz"? What If "abc"? We always think and ask these kind questions to ourselves about our life and try to find an answer which gives excuses to our current state of life and our past deeds, these answers shift the responsibility of our life and our present state from us to something like xyz and abc that never happened. In simple words, we always try to hide ourselves under the blanket of events and circumstances that happened to us. Those events in life matter but what matters more is how we reacted to them and how we handled them which leads to the fact that these what if's are totally imaginary. Generally, how we ask these questions is something like, the what if's where xyz and abc are events that we take from someone else's life who is more successful . What if that event happened to me and i would have been more successful now. This way of thought leads us to excusing ourselves of our own life and give us a way to think in a very limited scope. Those xyz and abc already exist in the someone else's life. Instead if we find new xyz and abc's which can transform the equation of our life to a totally different meaning, then why not?
I think we can ask these what if's in another two ways which can lead us to a better and happier way of looking at things, with more innovations, with more satisfaction in life.
My idea to write this is if we use these what if's questions in our life to broaden our scope of thoughts, where xyz and abc can be anything happening under the sun, they can be a new idea for innovation, an idea to make the world a better place to live, an idea to help the society.
If we use these questions and try to find an answer, by ourselves, or by talking to other people, we can have an outcome which will surely surprise ourselves and the world. I would just say that where ever we are, we should pause, think and ask the what if and try to do some innovation which can make lives easier in this tough world.
Another way I look at these xyz and abc is the things that we are privileged with in this world, a normal human body, a normal living standard(roti, kapda, makan), a normal state of the country(unlike syria and north korea), a normal family. What if we didn't have even one of them, can you ever imagine living that life happily?, there are a huge no. of people in those situations too, who are struggling to have a normal life. And we, taking this normal life for granted, are struggling for an extraordinary life, more money, more power. If we answer to the what if we are devoid of  any one of these so normal things, we can't even imagine ourselves living this life in this age. When we take these normal things so granted and not value them, the life takes us granted and teaches us the values. I would just say that every morning, thank the world and family for giving you this normal life, and try to think about what we can do for those who are devoid of these normal life.
Being thankful to the world, and seeing it through a new angle everyday is a magic that we have and we should make use of it at the best.
