Why, Not Why

… If they say
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell ’em that it’s human nature -Michael Jackson, song “Human Nature”

When something shitty happens (assuming it wasn’t in your control), it’s pointless to ask “Why?” It’s a waste of time and just leads to wallowing.

When you’re excited about something and are thinking about doing it, best ask yourself “Why?” a bunch of times. Drill down to get at the real reason you wanna do it. That way, you can be one thousand percent sure that when the inevitable shit hits the fan and times get tough, you don’t need to ask “Why?” You know it’s all part of the process. Instead, you adapt. You improvise. You move forward.
