One of the most powerful questions when it comes to becoming a happier person is Why? Why am I unhappy? Just questioning unhappiness is the first step to being free of it. But the way we question has everything to do with the answers we may get. Why is so often an accusatory question. Why am I unhappy? can often mean: What is wrong with me? To help yourself to be a happier person, harness the power of Why by infusing the question with love and acceptance. Know that you are not wrong to be unhappy. Ask why with the innocence of a child. You will be amazed what you will discover! Wendy Dolber, author, The Guru Next Door, A Teacher’s Legacy.
