Why Do You Want That?

When might the statement, "I just want God's will for my life," serve as a convenient evasion?We continue last week's exploration of four crucial, courageous questions necessary for all of life. In Episode 159 we unpacked, "What do I want?" Today we look at "Why do I want this?" Not only does this inquiry aid in uncovering the motivations behind our desires but also dismantles the shame that often inhibits our growth. By addressing these questions with curiosity rather than judgment, we allow ourselves to engage in a transformative process that fosters empowerment and intentionality in our lives. Understanding our desires and motivations requires courage and humility, particularly when confronting the possibility of self-serving reasons. Often, however, we realize the "why's" behind our "wants" may be shackling us to self-limiting beliefs that aren't based on truth. Also, cultivating curiosity in our relationships enables deeper connections and insights into the values and motivations of those around us. Listeners are encouraged to get curious this week with two of their own "wants" and "why's" and with one "want" and "why" with their family members.
