On Thursday July 31st, Miriam shared with us her surprise presentation.  Earlier in the week, Miriam and Don had attended a mental health fair, with several mental health professionals in attendance. While scanning the crowd, Miriam spotted a t-shirt that said “ What if it all Works out” ?  This statement inspired Miriam for her latest presentation.  

She began by asking a question we have probably all asked ourselves before. When we show up to our DBSA group every Thursday night,  we may be asking ourselves why are we all here?  

More than likely we have come to group because we want change. But the change we want can bring on different emotions that we don’t like.  Which leads back to Miriam’s question, what if it all works out?  

What if I fail?  What if I don’t?  

I myself have been considering a major career change for a little while, so this topic could not have come at a better time.

What if the idea you have for a new business were to turn into something?  

What if the risks you are too afraid to take work out for you?  Miriam assured us all that we are stronger than we may realize. 

Is this fear you may have about change causing you to consider less than you deserve?  

Sometimes you have to take a risk and try a new adventure or make new friends. What if that relationship you are afraid to pursue brings you more happiness?  

Remember, life isn’t just about what goes wrong, but also about what goes right.  So, the next time doubt creeps in, ask yourself what if it all works out?
