Answer Life Changing Questions - Part 2

Your Why is your ultimate purpose in life. It’s the very reason that you get out of bed every single day. I have a very powerful Why that keeps me laser-focused on the road of success and prosperity. I speak my Why out loud on a daily basis, not just once, but many times. Speaking your Why helps to move it into existence. The power of the spoken word is unimaginable. Its power is incomprehensible.

Dr. Creflo Dollar is one of my greatest spiritual mentors. I was recently reviewing one of his online Bible studies and found this statement about words:

“The power to change begins with your words. Your words have serious power; and good or bad, you will have what you say. When you begin to take responsibility for your words, you will change your life. Judge your speech and train yourself to only speak what you believe. By speaking faith-filled words, you position yourself to receive the promises of God.”
As usual, Creflo over-delivered by providing this Bible reference to back up what he had said:
Proverbs 18: 20-21 says “A man shall be filled with the fruit of his words whether good or evil. Death and life are in the power of the tongue.

I want you to take a minute to really internalize what Dr. Dollar emphasized in this teaching. It’s important that you understand the words that you speak shape your life – good or bad. I challenge you to stop allowing negative words to curse your life and start speaking blessings over yourself and your family everyday by saying your Why out loud for the world to hear.

I know some of you reading this may being saying, “But John…How can I say my Why out loud if I have no idea what it is?” Your Why is what naturally drives you and creates your daily decisions and actions. If you don’t know your Why yet, don’t worry. Take some time to really examine this question and to think about WHY you’re here on this beautiful planet Earth. God has a purpose for everyone. Get quiet, turn within, and search for the answer. Grab a piece of paper and just starting writing your Why in life. It will flow effortlessly once you start. Most importantly, make sure your Why is truly yours and not the Why of someone else. Don’t ask anyone their opinion about your Why. It has to be yours! You only have one life so take action and decide what you ultimately want to do with it.

Growing up, labels were placed on all of us. Family, friends, schoolmates, and society in general had their own ideas of what we should be doing with our lives. However, they rarely took the time to shape their own lives. Instead, they lived vicariously through you. Have you been living their Why, the life they think you should be living? No one has the power or right to live your life except you! If you’ve been living someone else’s life, least of all your own, begin to take control of your life and find your Why by continuing on with this chapter and asking yourself the next question.
