The Power of "Why"

We talk about this a lot as a leadership team at The Vine.  I really believe in the power of asking "Why?".

Jake Johnson:
Over the years, I’ve learned from my kids that one of the most powerful words is, “Why”

When you believe in something strongly, ask why.

When someone disagrees with you, ask why.

When you buck against authority, ask why.

When people exercise authority over you, ask why.

When you disagree with someone, ask why.

When things are going well, ask why.

When things are going poorly, ask why.

When you succeed, ask why.

When you fail, ask why.

In all things, ask why.

Why? It will save you a lot of pain and teach you a lot of lessons.

Don’t agree? Why?

Love it - we have to think and ask, or we never learn...

I came to your blog from the church relevant site top 200 list. They have created a tremendous forum for finding new blogs that impact people.

I hope my blog can be an encouragement to you also.

I write it for encouragement and motivation daily.
