Why??? Why Not!!!

Sometimes the question is....Why???
Sometimes the answer is....Why not!!!

During a church service I attended this weekend the pastor pointed out that fear is often one of the main reasons we never take a risk.  We fear the known but mostly the unknown.  We fear failure and we can even fear success. 

We are scared to ask someone out, enroll in a college course, start our own business, leave the job we hate, apply for the job we always wanted, write the book, write the first chapter, write the first word, ask the girl to marry us, break up with the boy who we know is bad for us, tell our kids no, tell our kids yes, tell our kids we have no clue, paint a masterpiece, paint a picture, paint by numbers, get the dog, get the next dog, get the cat, get the fish, get the whole zoo!!! 

We usually know the why.  What we are looking for is the answer to the why.  We look for all the possible reasons, outcomes, pitfalls, and possibilities.  And sometimes the only good answer is...why not!
