The Power of "What."

Sometimes the question "Why?" is a good one. 
Like, why can't we live in a more peaceful world? 
Or why did I eat all those cookies? 
Or why don't we call mustaches mouthbrows?

But there are times - especially during a crisis - when "why" may not the best puzzle to solve. 

When you're in an emotional entanglement, a difficult predicament or a physical hardship, asking "what" will do more.

Positive: What has directionality.

Negative: Why keeps you stuck in circular thinking.
Positive: What offers solutions.

Negative: Why offers no game plan.

So, the next time you find yourself in a bad place, use the power of "what."

Ask yourself:

"What can I do to make things better?

not

"Why is this happening to me?

Once the crisis is over THEN you can search for the "Why."
