What’s YOUR Why?

Why? This word can be one of the most annoying words in the English language. At least it can be if you have inquisitive kids.

Why is the sky blue?

Why do I have to go to bed?

Why can’t I have another cookie?

Why is my brother so annoying?

And so on.

But the word why can also be incredibly meaningful in the context of how you live your life. The WHY behind why you do what you do.

There are different levels of whys and in determining what you really want to do in life you need to assess your why and how important it is in relation to all the other whys.

For instance, if someone asks me why do you like to drink wine and eat pretzels for dinner. I simply say because they’re pretty damn good together.

Now on the other hand if someone asks me why Red Velvet Cake is my favorite I start to drool a little at the mere mention. I can talk for hours about the moist, but not overly chocolate cake, that’s in thin layers, so there is plenty of rich and creamy buttercream frosting. I go on about how every bite reminds me of my grandmother and all the birthdays and holidays when she would make this awesome cake.

So which is my stronger, more compelling why? The Red Velvet Cake of course.

Not that I’m trying to compare life choices with food but it’s about what you want, or think you want, and how bad (the WHY) you want it.

As you venture into this week, I challenge you to ask yourself what your WHY’s are. Are they compelling or do you find that you might be spending time in the wrong place?

I’d love for you to check back and tell me.

Have a fabulous week!
