What if?

What if?

Are these words defining how you are living your life as the parent of a teen or young adult child?

What if he hangs out with friends who are using drugs? What if she starts drinking again?  What if he overdoses?  

Are you imagining the worst and always anticipating what may go wrong next?  

When you allow past experiences to cause you to be fearful about the future, you are already living in the grief now.  You are already living as if your worst fear has happened.  

In order to start being present and have some peace, stop projecting.  The future you are projecting may never come but you will live in it now if you continue on the path of what ifs.  

Sending love and light,
