Know your motives"As long as one keeps searching, the answers come." -- Joan Baez Why? Why? Why? Asking ourselves 'why?' helps us delve deeply into our main motives -- why we do what we do. This process helps us go deeper into our reasoning, habits and unconscious beliefs. Once we become aware of our underlying motives, we can choose to change them, if we wish. Regularly ask yourself, "Why am I ...?" Listen closely for the answer that surfaces in your mind, and write it down. Now look at your answer and ask why again. Continue with this process to reach the true source of your motivation. "Men are more accountable for their motives, than for anything else ...." -- Archibald Alexander IP: Logged |

"Why?" is a great word/question to meditate on! Especially good is two people helping each other with it. One makes a statement. Or asks a question. The other replies, "why?". Keep this up until you run out of answers.  It can take quite awhile! Or set a timer and take turns doing it! Very revealing and alot of fun!  ------------------

I believe Albert Einstein achieved his status due to the simple question of why. He was simply always curious as to how things work.IP: Logged | |
