YOUR BEST WHY

For everything you do, there is a reason why. It may be silly, it may be profound, but in every case there is some reason or other. There are those things you gladly do, those things you reluctantly do, and those things you put off until the last possible moment. For each one of those things, there is a reason why.
If you were to think about each why before you acted on it, consider what would happen. Many of those things that only end up causing regret and dismay, you'd never do at all. And those things that bring value and accomplishment, you'd find yourself doing more and more. Because instead of blindly following any old why, you'd pick the ones that matter most.
Life is filled with whys, yet following them all is not very wise. Decide to follow the ones that mean the most to who you are and the person you would like to become.
Think of the why behind what you do, before you ever do it. Pick the whys that matter most, and you'll get where you truly want to go.

The best why for me is because I love my children.
Why I have to go to work, to support my children.
Why I must quit my work, to be with my children.
Why I have to stay up at night, to watch my children sleeping.
Why I have to be in this world, to give birth to my children.

thats an inspiring sentence.i think if we try to find the reason for whatever we do then it will reduce our regret and disappointment.but there arethings we do in life without any reason.but i think that is what life is all about

you're absolutely right..there are just too many whys in this life..why was i given this kind of life?why am i hurting right now?why does people continue on hurting others?why do i have to make all these choices?sometimes, i do feel like i'm doing things without having a clear reason behind it.but there should be no room for regrets with what this life has and will be offering us.what's important is that we learn from our past and have the serenity to accept things that we can never change.

right now, this is my question to myself?
why should i work hard and find a part time job when my mom is supporting me?
why am i suffering from financial problems when i am the only who is being supported in the family?
why do i have such a big credit which almost cost P30,000.00?
why do i need to suffer from all of this things when i am not yet ready?
why am i not something to solve all of these problem?

How old are you? JMO, you should get a part time job because most part time jobs aren't even that hard. You should help your mom out because she's probably doing all she can to support you. You are probably sufforing financially because of your large debt (I'm assuming this is what you meant by large credit which cost P30,000). Again, JMO

Great discussion.
Why ? Why i wake up in the morning ? To have a sweet day.
Why i started my day by wishing my girl friend ? She was everything for me.
Why i spoke to her all day and night ? I wanted make her feel my love.
Then why i agreed her departure ? i knew she always took the right move.
Now why do i cry ? Because i have lost her.....

the point I agree with u is that there is a logic to amost everything in this world..and thats from where the Whys come from..so u want to earn more money-why because u want to spend more on a variety of things...but that doesn't mean u know which why is better and which why is planned..there are things which happen first and then u have the chance to think over it...why to govern why's is also a challenge..try solving that first..

Exactly..no matter what it is your doing, or you are getting ready to do, there is a reason for it. I totally agree with you. Even if there is something bad, or good coming out of it, there is always a reason behind it. To me life is a mystery...
Why do I work....to support my family
Why do I sleep...to have the strength to work
Just a couple of very good reasons why for me..but there are so many more.

I want a better life for myself and my husband than what my parents were able to provide. This is
WHY I go to work everyday, despite the fact that some days are really hard.
WHY I sacrifice the things I want so we aren't struggling with money.
WHY I spend 4 difficult years in college to pursue my dream of becoming a teacher.
WHY I support my husband whole heartedly while he finishes his degree in Forensic Science, even though we need more income from his part time job now.

Dear friend stop questioning yourself, questions do not have an end, stop wasting your time thinking of the past and look at the future and work towards it.
Just be focused to achieve your goal.
Regards,
Clement.
