What if I am wrong? How to start questioning your thoughts, what your minds tell you, and change your life forever.


We are born into a world that’s already written some of our story.


Before we even take our first breath, we inherit a set of worldviews, values, and assumptions about who we are, what we’re worth, what we should believe, and how life is supposed to look. Our parents, grandparents, and those before them shape not just our DNA but the invisible rules we are destined to live by.


Then life adds its layers, family dynamics, the roles we’re cast into, school, friendships, media, culture.

We mirror, we absorb, and to some degree we perform.


Not all of it is harmful. However, almost none of it is chosen. It’s automatic through a process of imprinting.


A baby is born knowing hunger, stress, and the need for safety. It is wired for its survival, and that is all. Everything else, our beliefs, our fears, our inner critic, is learned.


Here’s the dangerous part: most of us never stop to question any of it.


We grow up assuming our thoughts are facts. That our thoughts and feelings are final. That our inherited beliefs are reality. But what if they’re not?


What if I am wrong? What if you start

Questioning your thoughts daily - What if I am wrong?
Question your thoughts daily

questioning your thoughts



What if you are wrong about what you were taught?

What if you are wrong about what you think I deserve?

What if you are wrong about how you think others see you, or how you see yourself?


This isn’t about shame. It’s not a “you’re doing life wrong” kind of question. It’s more of a curious, quiet invitation. Again, the invitation is, " What if I am wrong? What if I did start questioning my thoughts?


What if the story you’re living was never really yours to begin with?


What if you absorbed it through repetition and survival, and now it's running your life like background music you didn’t choose?


What if the thought you’re having right now isn’t even real, just emotionally driven? (And really, what is reality anyway?)


Here’s the magic:

Between the thought and the action, there’s a space. It may be invisible at first, but there is a space. In that space, you get to choose, to pause, and be allowed to ask…


What if I’m wrong?


It seems small, but that one question could change everything.


Maybe this is the key to interrupting suicidal thoughts.

To break addictive patterns.

To soften emotional reactivity.


Maybe it’s how we start creating a home inside ourselves, instead of looking for approval out there.


We can’t stop thoughts from coming, as that is never the goal. Why, because it's impossible to stop thoughts, but we have the power to start questioning them. We can shift the power dynamic.


Maybe real change begins in that quiet space where we pause and ask ourselves:

“What if I am wrong?”


That question has changed the course of my life.


So much so that I made it the heart of a message, on a t-shirt, on a hoodie, wearable reminders you can carry with you, or pass on to someone who might need the same nudge. I know there are suicide awareness shirts out there, which is awesome, but I do believe the key to changing suicide is in giving people the tools and reminders to start to question what they are thinking.


They’re not just clothes, they're a statement and a gentle rebellion against the old scripts.




Let’s start rewriting the story! One pause at a time! One deliberate question in a moment of high emotion!


With love always Sam x
