What Is Your Why?

Having a rough day, my darlings?

Put your hand to your heart, and tell me – what is it that you feel? Is it the thumping sound of soul come alive? A fearless explorer waiting to take on this world?

Is it the sound of life finding you with each new breath? That first kiss? That something missed? That sense of ease within the falling rain?

My darlings, what you feel now is purpose – it is your ‘why‘. That irrepressible force that carries you through each day.

And, is the very reason you are alive.

So, cherish this day – my loving friends. Take wrong turns, follow overgrown paths. Delight in the sense of new adventure.

But, by all means – don’t wait for life to happen to you; take little steps to find your life’s greatest bliss.

And remember, as Friedrich Nietzsche once said,

“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.”

So, now tell me, won’t you – my dearest darlings: On this day, what is your why?
