I am a big proponent of asking the question “why?” I believe it’s important for us to understand the foundations, motivations, and intentions of our actions.
But the more I ask “why?” and have conversations with people about “why” the more I realize that “why” isn’t enough. Asking “why” is a necessary step. But, asking “why” won’t change things. Asking “why not?” has the potential to incite change…it begs for change.
You see things; and you say, “Why?” But I dream things that never were; and I say, “Why not?” -George Bernard Shaw
When was the last time you asked “why not?”
With courage, Katie
Hi! Good seeing you at Dream Year.
I think I was born asking why … or some other question.
And I chose Why for my #OneWord2011
