The Power of Why

"Why am I here?"
"Why can't I do that?"
"Why don't they love me?"

The "why" questions linger until we take our last breath.  So it begs the question, "Why?"

The easy answer is that it helps us sift through the complexities of life.  Asking "Why?" enables us to find answers, solve problems, and fine-tune our decisions.  But this explanation merely scratches the surface.

To truly understand the power of why, we must first remember that we are spiritual beings having a human experience.  From a soul perspective, your current lifetime is nothing more than an opportunity to grow.  After all, earth is analogous to school -- we come here to learn.  But the lessons are not random or coincidental.  In fact, they are quite the opposite.

The situations you find yourself in are tailor-made for your soul, and deep within your subconscious mind is a checklist of the lessons you came here to learn.  Each time you complete a soul objective, that particular lesson is crossed off your list.  Easy enough, right?  Well... not exactly.  There's one thing that always seems to get in the way: free will. 

You see, the soul is not on auto-pilot; it's directed by our will.  And too often our will is directed by our ego.  Consciously, we believe in meeting the needs of the ego.  Subconsciously, we know the importance of sticking to the checklist.  Needless to say, this makes for a tricky time navigating through life. 

Enter, "Why."  This simple question bridges the gap between your ego and your soul and, if used wisely, has the power to provide breakthroughs, discoveries, and monumental shifts in perspective.  It is a priceless asset that each of us have been gifted with.  How often you use it is up to you.
