“What if…”
It’s a small phrase with a huge shadow.
It sounds innocent enough—two tiny words, soft on the tongue—until they begin to multiply.
What if I fail?
What if the timing is wrong?
What if I’m not enough?
Fear doesn’t need a full argument.
It doesn’t need evidence, logic, or proof.
Fear is efficient.
Give it one question, and it can bring all momentum to a halt.
One seed of doubt can grow into a forest thick enough to confuse your direction and block your light.
But leaders—true leaders—aren’t the ones who never feel fear.
They’re the ones who refuse to let the spiral carry them away.
Rather than tumbling into the unknown, they choose to anchor themselves in what is true right now.
In this moment.
In what they know, not in what they imagine.
Because fear speaks from uncertainty.
Faith speaks from clarity.
Faith says:
I may not know what’s ahead,
but I know Who goes with me.
Faith says:
I may not have every answer,
but I have enough light for the next step.
Faith doesn’t silence every “What if,”
but it keeps those questions from steering the ship.
Leaders rise—not because the fear stops whispering—
but because they learn to answer its questions with truth, courage, and a steady refusal to surrender their forward motion.
When you stay grounded in what is real,
what is consistent,
what is promised…
Suddenly the “What if…” loses its grip,
and you rise into the leader you were meant to become.
