How often do I hear
"Why does this always happen to me?"
or
"This idea came to me, I don't know why"
or
"Why do I do these things?"
this word
brings me to the discovery
I made for myself
"Why"
is a valuable word for
research
such as
"Why does water change color
when I add a tea bag
to it?"
for it leads me to discovery
however
when it comes to
"Why does this happen to me?"
I discovered
that question led me
to the past
and was
mostly
useless for me
for it demanded of
my left brain
a reason
I did something
human
and
the answers I would receive
were mostly
negative
I believe
that
my left brain
only understands what
I know
empirically
so it would rummage through
the dusty closet
of my memory
for some experience
from the past
such as
"Because you crossed
the street
without looking
so you don't take directions well"
types of answers
that led to
nowhere really
and
almost always
answers to
"Why"
in a personal
situation
were disempowering.
this
left me
dissatisfied
my discovery was
to change
Perspective
from asking myself
why
to asking
myself
a different
question
one that
empowers me
and that question
was and is
"What Do I Want?"
when I ask that question
suddenly
I am
plugged into
the magic
of
past
present
and future
my right brain
my imagination
my connection
to the
universe
of possibility
my entire world
changed then
and it was simply
a
change
of
Perspective
when I find myself
in a challenging
situation
asking
myself
"What Do I Want?"
immediately
lifts me
from the
state of
indecision
and places me
on the
road to
possibility
from unanswerable
questions
that led to
doubts
to the runway
of
flight
endless possibilities
that sour
around me
and suddenly
I have choices
Perspective
when I find myself
dissatisfied
the first thing I do
in place of
asking myself
why
is to
ask myself
"What Do I Want?"
and I'm
off to the
races
and it's
one helluva
fun ride
what a difference
Perspective
makes
Love to all
