The Answer to Why

Understanding the answer to why, for me, always begins when I ask, "Why am I bothering when it's so hard and I'd rather quit?" The answer I get is "Because of love."

When I ask why, I always find myself considering how to love others in ways beyond my abilities. The whys allow me to exhibit mercy and grace in all the other areas of life.

The answer to why I should let go of what is bad or wrong, I believe, is found in love. As I am loved, I, in turn, can exhibit love for another, myself, God...

Why do I love, even though I might get hurt?

Why do I trust, even when discouraged?

Why do I forgive others?

Why do I stay committed?

My core beliefs allow me to go beyond myself, to change my life for the better.

The power of love in your life, as a form of motivation, is the one piece you can never leave out.
