“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is Your Why?
Living from your “why” invites a deeply rooted, soul-aligned way of being. It means anchoring your actions, choices, and relationships in the core of what truly matters to you—your purpose, faith, and values.
Every Monday, on our day of rest, we reestablish our why. Last month, we had a Monday that told us we were out of alignment, and we had some adjusting to do. How did we know? We were exhausted and asking questions that were not our own. Poet David Whyte says, “Therefore, at any time of life, follow your own questions; don’t mistake other people’s questions for your own.”
“Other people’s questions will exhaust you!
We must ask beautiful questions that belong to us and our why.”
When you live from a place of centered intention, you’re embracing a life that nourishes your soul rather than being driven by external pressures or the specifics of “how” things are accomplished or “what” you’re producing. It’s about alignment rather than accomplishment, presence rather than performance.
We (Scott and Clare) have a shared “why.” Our why is to help people know God and their inherent greatness, to discover and cultivate wholeness in their lives—spiritually/
After decades of marriage, shared work, and ministry, we still love who we are and what we do. We have written, rewritten, and honed the resources we offer to reflect our why in different shapes for different seasons, but this edgy moment in history has only deepened the passion for our why. Utilizing practices that ground, connect, and secure your inner life is the way we all can impact our work and relational world.
Healthy inner work impacts your life relationally and vocationally.
