Growing up, like many of us, I often found myself bedeviled by the relentless inner critic, whispering foreboding questions that cast long, dark shadows over bright possibilities. “What if it all goes wrong?” it would hiss, injecting fear and doubt into every potential path to success. For many, including entrepreneurs and high achievers, this disquieting question is all too familiar. But what if I told you that it was possible to shift this pessimistic query into something inspiring and motivating?

So, let's begin this journey of reconfiguration, fostering a mindset that instead ponders, ‘What if it all goes right?'

Remember Thomas Edison? The guy who invented the light bulb? Before he finally succeeded, he failed a thousand times, but did he give in to that nagging voice that said: ‘What if it all goes wrong?' No, instead he reframed the question to: ‘What will I learn when it goes right' and even when it doesn’t. And for Edison, it was those ‘1000 steps' that finally lit the path to success.

Rest assured, failure is an integral part of success, an important stepping stone in the journey of achievements. It's the dues we pay for the successful outcome of our dreams and aspirations. What if we perceived setbacks not as a grim prospect, but as fantastic learning opportunities, steppingstones, and guideposts on the path to traverse towards success, just like Edison did?

All of us, including the high flyers of Success Insider and successful alumni of prestigious programs like the LMA course, have faced hurdles and uncertainties. However, the differentiating factor between those who remain bound by the chains of fear and those who break through is the perception of potential outcomes.

So, how can we reframe this suffocating ‘What if it all goes wrong?' into the exhilarating ‘What if it all goes right?'

And yes, I’m talking to YOU. Yes, you who just doubted whether this applies to you. Believe in yourself. With a sprinkle of persistence, a dash of courage, and a dollop of self-belief, you possess the recipe to transform the insidious ‘What if it goes wrong?' into the potent ‘What if it all goes right?'

First and foremost, recognize the power of words. Our thoughts shape our reality, and our words are the architects of our thoughts. ‘What if it all goes wrong?' is a self-defeating prophecy, a narrative that predicates failure, not success. Conversely, ‘What if it all goes right?', fosters optimism, instilling confidence and encouragement.

Secondly, don’t run away from failure. Embrace it. After all, true success does not lie in the mere achievement of goals but in the resilience shown during the journey and the lessons learnt along the way. Remember, every time you falter, you have two choices— let the fear of failure take control or perceive that failure as a teacher that will guide you one step closer to your ultimate goal.

Thirdly, remember, it’s YOU who’s in control. Yes, you are the driver, journeying through the highways of life, with the unique ability to control the wheels of your destiny. And imagine, just imagine what your journey would look like if everything went exactly as planned, exactly right.

Finally, it boils down to self-belief. Believe in yourself. It's your dream, your journey and your success. Others will try to doubt you, and circumstances will try to deter you. But as long as you believe in your abilities, your goals and dreams, no hurdle will be too high, no ocean too deep.

In essence, changing the question isn’t looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. It's about being wise enough to know there are setbacks, brave enough to face them, and strong enough to turn them into steppingstones.

So, the next time that familiar voice nudges you with its cynical query, silence it with a resounding, “What if it all goes RIGHT?”

Because YOU can, and YOU will conquer your ‘what ifs'. Yes, everything can go wrong, but then again… what if it all goes right?
