What if... the words that drive us and keep us trapped

I recently turned 26, and with every birthday, it is my new year. This is the year not to wonder "what if." I can only do what I will do and not do what I choose not to, and in no way will I allow "what if" to enter into my mind. I deleted it, and it feels kind of amazing to live without it. I feel more free, excited about the future, and happy. I don't care about the other possibilities, only what I do now.

I say, try it. Try to delete "what if" from your life. Are you still driven? Are you still trapped? Are you you anymore, or are you someone new? I am the same person as I was before, just more confident in my decisions-- still going to school, still doing homework, still unmotivated to clean, but there is no nagging in the back of my mind that leads to "would, should, and could."
