Living a life of WHY and WHY NOT

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."  Raphal Waldo

One day while travelling I met someone and we started discussing and I asked what or where will you be in 10years time and guess what she said Why am I asking her. The question of today is all about why and never why not, casting out your fears to the question of why will never change or make you better but rising up to say why not makes you better than where you were yesterday.

"The pursuit of successes does not end with an assumed purpose but with a realized moment with people who succeeded with you. Osondu C. Ben"

No wonder "Benjamin franklin said  "He that can have patience can have what he will." And that has being one of the toughest questions we hear today which is, "Why?" In life's pathway, we look at the good and the bad, always with the same question, "WHY?" We see the pain, the hurt, and the suffering in today's world. We ask ourselves, "WHY?" We see men's trials, the temptations, the injustices, the cruelties, the unfairness, the inequities, and we ask, "WHY?"

We see some men conquer their fears and overcome great obstacles. We see lowly men rise to prestigious positions. We see others who falter and can't keep a job or their self-respect. "WHY?"

"The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams." Oprah Winfrey

We see the joy in a parent's eyes as they view their first born child. We see the hurt in the eyes of the parents of a stillborn. "WHY?" We see the joy in the family whose loved one has survived a major illness. We see the pain in the family whose loved one didn't survive.

When I got myself into the challenges I faced I overcome that question of why and asked myself why not, the purpose of asking this question is not that you are better than others but this makes you becoming better and once you overcome the challenge of today, tomorrow will surely be great.

"WHY?" "WHY?" "WHY?"

I don't have an adequate answer to this age-old question, but I would offer some insight, which will help you deal with the question.

It matters not whether we ask "WHY?", of the good or the bad. We need to share of our burdens, as well as our rejoicings. We need to learn to trust. We need to have a strong faith. We need to remember, there is a sun even when it's not shining. We need to believe in love, although we not feel it. We need to reach out to others, although it is to risk involvement. We need to try, even though trying could bring failure. Even to live means we must die.

So, be honest with yourself. Expose your feelings. Ask questions. God is big enough to carry you when you can't walk the pathway alone. You will know when you share of yourself that your burdens are divided. You will also know when you give of yourself, you will receive a double portion in return.

Remember, life is for living. Give it your best. Each of us has but a short time here on earth to know, "WHY?"

When you discover that there are people who because of your challenges are stronger than you will realize that the answer to WHY is WHY NOT.....you will surely succeed...
