What lies beyond the Why?

Ask yourself the following three questions:

1. What would happen if you gave up always asking yourself “Why?” and demanding an answer?
2. What would it be like not to feel compelled to answer every “Why?” question that someone else asked you?
3. What in your life would be different if you felt free to answer the question “Why?” with the infamous childhood expression, “Just because!”?

When you allow yourself to not ask or answer the question “Why?” you set in motion the following positive forces in your life:

• Your intuition strengthens – you can respond to your “gut feelings” without knowing why.
• You become less tentative and restricted in your thoughts and actions because you don’t feel compelled to explain yourself.
• Your self esteem increases – your sense of trust in yourself strengthens – you just “know” that you will do what is right for you without having to analyze all the reasons why.
• What you do and say becomes an expression of all that you are – not just your analytical mind.
• You are free to use your feelings to guide your actions as well as your logical mind.

The Bottom Line:

The questions we ask and answer can have profound effects on how we see ourselves, how we feel about ourselves, and how we act. Nowhere is this truer than with the question “Why?” Sometimes to regain our power and sense of self we have to become comfortable in answering the question “Why?” with a “Just because!”

Let me share with you a somewhat strange but wonderful quote I read not too long ago:

“The whales do not sing because they have an answer, they sing because they have a song.” – Unknown

You too, can be a singing whale – you may not always have the answer to all of the “Why?” questions, but you can trust that inside you is a message – a “song” - that is unique to you and deserves to be brought into the world.
