Why?

March 26, 2007 By Holly Sutton Leave a Comment

“Why?” is a question I often find myself asking and it often goes unanswered. Some of the “Why” questions I’m thinking about now:

* Why is self-discipline so difficult?

* Why do we say things to hurt other people?

* Why do we let our emotions cloud our judgment?

* Why is trusting God such a tough thing to do?

* Why is it so easy to waste time when there are so many good things I should be doing?

* Why is it difficult to find a kind word to say in response to the harsh words spoken to you?

* Why can’t I be outside enjoying the beautiful day instead of inside at this computer?

* Why am I so restless?

Sometimes I think it’s better not to dwell on the “why” which can be a fruitless pursuit of explanations I may never get. Instead, asking myself, “what am I going to do about…?” is a better focus to have. This latter question forces me to think about my area of influence. What can I change? What can I do differently? I have no ability to control other’s actions or words but I can choose how I act and how I speak.
