Does "if" control your life?
Who or what governs our daily experience? Knowing the answer can make the difference between a life of misery and a life filled with joy.
What we think influences what we do. This presents a challenge to us to resist conditions and habitual concepts set by a limited sense of mind.
One of these concepts is based on an unstable sense of cause and effect, an "if ... then" approach. Once lodged, it can strip away joy. Think of the variety of forms this notion can cover: if I get the job; if we have a mild winter; if I present a good appearance; if I had been born of different parents; if the neighbors weren't so noisy. You can easily supply the "thens."
