My favourite phrase, ever.

“What if…”

It’s a brilliant pair of words, it opens up so many possibilities. I just love it.

That tiny little phrase opens doors and makes the imagination spin off in all sorts of interesting directions. I’m sure you’ve played the game too. Even on a day to day level it makes you think, makes you wonder. What if I don’t bother getting up? What if I try something different for dinner? What if I learn something new? What if this or that happens?

Then there are the more day dreamish What if’s and those are what really spark my imagination.

If someone disappeared, what if they didn’t just run away? What if they were abducted? What if they went willingly and then ended up trapped?

What if magic was real? What if we could get to another world at the flick of a switch? What if aliens are visiting us but we just don’t see them?

What if I write a book? Or several….

What if, is dreams, flights of fancy and talking to yourself. For me, What if sparks fantasy, space travel and adventure. For others it creates romantic walks on moonlit beaches, or car chases and narrow escapes.

It’s the most incredible key to the door of imagination.

What if you let your imagination loose today?
