I read a bit by Neale Donald Walsch that was very interesting and profound. Basically he said, “Why is the most useless question in the universe”. Now, when we are two years old and EVERY question seems to be a why question, maybe it’s more important but as an adult I think I’ll have to agree with him. As Neale points out, it’s not “Why” that is important, but rather “What”.

“Why is this happening to me?” is never as meaningful as “What am I going to do about this?” “What can I learn from this?” It’s been pointed out time and time again, that we are the ones that assign meaning to our life. The way we do that is not by asking “why”, but rather knowing the “what” and placing that value to the situation or circumstance. “Why” gives our power away, “What” retains our power and control. “Why” can fill us with a sense of hopelessness, while “What” can empower us.

Here’s the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (there is always a pot of gold you know) – if you focus on “what” instead of “why” in your life – “why” will ALWAYS become evident without even asking.

So, what’s it going to be? Are you going to be a “Why” person or a “What” person?
