Many days I get to ask the question why not? When we come up against brick walls or challenges or barriers many times we just crumble and decide that we cannot make it over the wall, and cannot get through the tough times- I almost always ask the question- WHY NOT?
Life if hard. The last couple of years have been really hard. In our own lives we need to take more looks in the mirror and ask the question why not?
Why can we not change? When you hear- I can't do that, or that can't be done- Ask the question why not? How many times did the Wright brothers ask that question, How many times did Michael Jordan come up against a challenge and asked why not? Tom Brady(who I don't like) continues to be told he's told old and can't do it- He asks why not every day! Do you think Albert Einstein ever asked that question?
As I work in the education field every day there seems to be more and more barriers to kids learning and teachers teaching. Change is hard. When things are not going right we fall back on- well that's the way we have always done it or we can't do that, it won't work, or that's too hard, we don't have the right people to get it done, or no one will go for that- I ask- WHY NOT??? Why can't we do that? Why can't it work?
Every day as you get out of bed ask yourself the question- Why Not- See how it applies to your own life, to your motivation every day.
A wise man(my old football coach) once told me that if you are not getting better you are getting worse. Always ask the question- Why not and see where that takes you!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving- I'm thankful for all of you!
Thankful for my crew- that I continue to ask- Why not!

You are right J! Why not, what do we have to lose? Our kids are going to have heroes, it could be anybody they could look up to, why not you?
