Ask Why

“Not wanting something is as good as having it” -Naval Ravikant

Today I am grateful for having everything I need in life. It’s easy to get carried away with Black Friday and excessive consumerism around this time of the year, but it’s important to get grounded and be truly grateful for everything we have, which is more than enough.

Onwards…

Ever since I was young, I have always been a very curious. I probably pissed off my parents by always asking “why” to every answer.

Thankfully nowadays we have the internet for answers which wasn’t as accessible when I was a child.

It’s really important for us to always question why something is the way it is. Using the answer, “that’s just how it is” or “that’s what I was told” is a terrible way to think about things.

Those are the easy responses for when you do not want to think critically. When you respond that way, you are borrowing someone else’s thoughts, not forming your own.

The greatest innovators in the world question why something exists the way it does. So the next time someone tells you to do something, maybe you should question it and ask why it’s done that way. You might have the next billion dollar start-up idea.
