“Why?”
One of the deepest, quietly transformative questions anybody can ask themselves.
Yet, the hardest to get an answer to.
Because its very root is surgical grade clarity.
But the arrival at that clarity that doesn’t rip your mind off?
The path, the process.
It’s traumatic.
But its worth cannot be put into words.
Clarity is like the root.
It doesn’t matter how massive the tree is, if the root doesn’t hold, even it could tip over.
Like it never even existed.
Having a clear ‘why’ is crucial.
Because it’s a healer in your journey and a thrust to your destiny.
But challenges?
They don’t exist to destroy your clarity.
They’re for refining your why, so you may have a sharper vision.
They bring you to your once-hidden awareness of where your ‘why’ was falling short.
Where it couldn’t keep up with a perspective that demands a clearer answer, or a different one.
And that’s not failure—it’s paving the path to a deeper, more nuanced perspective.
And the process is nothing to be ashamed of.
Challenges, negativities, and criticisms shake you awake.
It shows your consciousness where it was short-sighted.
And that’s okay, since having a clear 'why’ is the true healer.
And I hope you heal through clarity.
Let challenges come at you.
Let life come at you.
So you may once again ask, “Why?”.
You’ll get a clearer answer.
And may you become a little wiser than before.
Thanks for reading.
