Like why is the sky blue?
Why is the grass green?
We can find out the answers
and gain knowledge & esteem

But when it comes to our behaviors
“why” is not the best question;
it doesn’t offer solutions
and so I have this suggestion:

Ask “how” you can change it
or how you can have what you want.
Asking “how” opens doors,
where asking “why” can simply haunt.

So open yourself up to solutions
by asking “how,” not “why,”
empower yourself to make a change
and soar in that big, blue sky
