Why Versus How

If you notice in my postsand even when I teach in person, I spend a lot of time on “Why” you dosomething. Most people always want toknow “How”

 How do I get my kids to talk to me aboutimportant issues?

 What should I invest in?

 How do I get that spark back in my marriage?

There are a million HowTo books on the market and most of us read these books and then never take anyaction. They have great advice and soundprinciples but unless we have a strong enough “Why”, the “How” is unimportant.

The Why is what keeps yougoing. The why is the bigger picturewhen adversity enters your life. The Whyis what keeps your moral compass on the proper heading. 

Most people just want toknow how, and then they go out and try something and fail and give up. If they had a big enough “Why” the how willpresent itself.

I focus a majority of myeffort and reading on building a strong “Why” because once I know deep in mysoul why it is important to do something, I will search the earth to find the“How”

I take time each week andlook at why I am doing something. 

Why am I trying todevelop my children to be strong Christian Leaders?

Why am I building wealth?

Why do I want to have thebest marriage I can?

Why do I need to set theexample and become a Legacy Dad?

I focus on the endresults, the rewards, and the eternal happiness. If you build a big enough “Why” than nothingwill stop you from finding out “How”
