If only... 

We've all started a sentence like that, right? 

If only I would've gotten that job...

If only I didn't get injured...

If only I had that opportunity... 

Brothers, "if only" thinking is toxic. It keeps us stuck right where we are. Where we don't want to be.

The hard truth is that problems, setbacks and road blocks follow us wherever we are in life.

But what if those brick walls are there for a reason? 

Take Dwayne Johnson for example. Before he was "The Rock" or one of the most famous and successful movie stars in the world, he was was an aspiring NFL player.

That dream didn't happen...

But it led to an even better one...

"The one thing you wanted to happen, often times, is the best thing that never happened." - The Rock
