1. Is that true?
It sounds too good to be true.

2. Can you absolutely know that it is true?
No. It might happen. 

3. How do you react when you believe this thought?
Sad. Disappointed.  I try not to do anything that would  hurt the chances of it happening.  I notice how  I  am using this thought to protect myself from disappointment. I am in the future. Totally.  Every little thing I interpret as proof that it probably won’t happen.  The original excitment as the opportunity came up is dead.

4. Who would you be without that thought?
Without the thought I’d be in gratitude for the opportunity that has come up. I’d be open. I’d definitely be more in the present moment. I’d come back into my life here and now. I notice what’s around me. Before my surroundings had kind of faded. I wasn’t really aware of them. Interesting. Oh, and I am much happier. The sadness is gone or just faintly there. There is some joy bubbling up. And I am  away  from making interpretations and assumptions of what it means about me if it doesn’t happen. Yep, much more peaceful.

- Chances have gone from 0 to at least 50 percent. Before the opportunity came up I didn’t even have it in my mind as an option.
- She wouldn’t have brought it up if she had no intention on following through
