Know your Why.     Arghhhhh, I hate that 3-word sentence.

My sister in law sent me a video this week. She was celebrating her birthday. WIth the video she commented, “let’s all have a year of focussing on the Why instead of the What.”

Honestly, I didn’t even want to watch the video at first.

I have struggled with the word WHY for a very long time.

If you have ever done multi-level-marketing (MLM) then you already know that every Leader/Enroller starts with “What’s your WHY?”

And while I have many blessings in my life, I have never found a WHY compelling enough to be successful in any of the MLM’s I’ve been involved with (some of them I am still a ‘valued customer’ and love the products). [And please, if you are reading this, do not reach out to me about any MLM, I’ve decided that is not the way I want to use my influence or my energy even if you do have “THE BEST PRODUCT EVER”]

God’s Will

 

This past year my struggle with the word WHY has been because of the death of my husband (and my father). I had to quit asking myself things like “Why am I still here?” “Why have I lived almost seven years with stage 4 cancer?”. Inevitably it would lead me to “Why are they not here?”

 

I have come to accept that I cannot understand God’s reasons for the things that happened the last two years. But this morning as I write this post I noticed a small book a friend gave me a couple of years ago ‘Why? – Making Sense of God’s Will’ by Adam Hamilton. Chapter 3 is entitled “Why Can’t I See God’s Will for my Life?” and the cornerstone verse is Colossians 1:9

 

Below is the video. I did finally open it and I’m glad I did…

Wow. That was powerful.

When you know your Why your What becomes more impactful.

I’m still struggling with Why, but I know when I find it I will be unstoppable.

Have a great day!
