I Stopped Asking Why and Everything Changed

A speaker and Betsy Guerra discuss shifting from asking why bad things happen to asking what they're for. The change reframed hardship as purposeful growth, improving relationships and work. It's rooted in gratitude, faith, and choosing to love and serve others.
Chapters
Perspective, gratitude, appreciation, humility brings so much peace and happiness and clarity that I have never been happier in my life. The blessings God has given me, which is my son, which is my daughter, which is my wife, because without her, I don't have them. My friends, my parents, my sisters and all of the angels that he put in my path during what I perceive to be my darkest days, I can't think of enough for it. And being able to recognize that is so empowering because it's no longer woe is me, it's thank you. And all those years I spent asking why, why, why, why? I don't ask why anymore. I've never asked why since I had that incredible weekend. I asked what for? So when God throws something, something at me and life happens because life's going to happen, I say what for? What's the purpose of this? What are we, what am I supposed to learn in this process? What's this all about? And I approach it with such a happier perspective and a positive perspective that what allows me to do is be a bit a better business owner, be better to my clients, be a better husband, to be a better father, to be a better friend, to be a better son. I'm working really hard to be a better brother because brothers and sisters are brothers and sisters. But I love them. And I now walk around with my head held high trying my absolute best to improve anyone's life I come across, even if it's for five seconds. Because that's what we're called to do. We're called to love one another. And loving one another doesn't mean that you have to like one another. Loving, loving someone is willing the good of them is willing the good in them just not to like them. You don't have to agree with everything but want the best for them. And man, life has been such a fun and beautiful ride ever since I realized that, that it's been. It's been great. It's led me to here I'm sitting with you, my God. If I wasn't in that position, I wouldn't be able to speak with Dr. Betgara.
Ve made my life better today and I trust that you blessed.
You.
You blessed them, but I'm now speaking to you. Bebo blessed you today. And I hope you have hope and I hope you have perspective. There are a few things, Babel, that you said that I think I would like to repeat. You said in. I'm going to say it in my own words. You said I am a. I was a man of faith. So so these things are not supposed to happen to me because I had all these brownie points. And I want to remind you. Listening. That faith does not protect you from adversity. God did not promise a life without pain. He promised to be there all along. And he promised to make the pain worthy, worth it, so that it wasn't in vain. And I see that in you. Right. Like all things work for the good of those who love Him. So what for? If you are going through pain, what for? Because it's not just for you to feel pain. There's a. There's a mission, there's a purpose. There's something that's. That's wanting to emerge from Him. God is. God is building you up because you're going through adversity.
