DO YOU EVEN KNOW ‘WHY’?
Hello kren happuch readers, its a new week which equals new post, before we get into today’s business I’d like to say a very big thank you to those who read my first post, it’s my expose into what kren happuch’s blog is all about.
Ever wondered why some people never succeed in whatever they do? Or why even though they succeed, they do not prosper? Well there is a difference between success and prosperity. If two people embarked on a project, one might succeed while the other might prosper, the successful one is the one who is able to carry out the task and complete it, he might not actually have prospered in it but he was able to attain his goal, but a prosperous person doesn’t just succeed, he is able to give out detailed points on how he achieved his task. This brings us to what I want to talk about today. WHAT IS YOUR AIM/GOAL? WHY ARE YOU DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING?
Everyone one has a goal in life, no matter the task i am embarking on, i should have a reason/ a focal point, this is because, there are always obstacles and setbacks in achieving our goal/ aim and if we do not have a reason/ a focal point then we are easily swayed and we go back to square one. You need to ask yourself one basic question and that question starts with a ‘WHY’. The ‘why’ question is a metaphysical question and it was how civilization began, ‘why is the world round’, ‘why is there a night and a day’, ‘why am I tall’, ‘why am I fat’. The metaphysical question makes you go beyond what is visible to you, it takes you into the realm of what is beyond and you start deriving answers that are not ordinary.
Having said all these, before you begin a weight loss journey, or make any decision about your life either physically, emotionally, spiritually, you will need the metaphysical question. But today we are going to be talking about weight loss and an healthy lifestyle. When I decided to take off on my weight loss journey, i never asked myself tat metaphysical question, I just wanted to lose weight, I never knew what it entails, I didn’t even know my body at all and even till now I am still figuring that out. I wanted to look like kim kardashian, I wanted to wear a size 10, i wanted to be this I wanted to be that, i never asked ‘why’, I just assumed that if I lost weight my mood swings would change, my relationship with people will change, I wouldn’t have to hide in the shadows anymore. Well, trust me all that changed just for a while, but my mentality about myself did not change, my hatred for my body didn’t change, I kept pushing myself and pushing myself till i got tired, in fact i am still tired. Perhaps you re reading this and all i mentioned worked for you, and you know deep down in your subconscious mind it is working for, thank your stars because you have answered your metaphysical question in your own way. But on the other hand you are like me, and no matter what you do, you are not satisfied with your achievements, even though you know and people say you have tried, then we haven’t answered our metaphysical question, our ‘why’ is still yet to be answered and no other person can answer that question for you but YOU.
When i look at myself in the mirror, I am supposed to love what I see, no matter the skin, but i don’t and it might be happening to some of you, when people make fat jokes, or I tell people i workout a lot and they make funny faces, or I am working out and I look at myself or see someone who i think is better looking than I am, I tend to give up, or cry or hate the world. But we fail to understand that we cannot see ourselves the way other people see you, rather you are a reflection of how you see yourself. When you’ve asked yourself the ‘why’ question and you have answered correctly, though other questions might come up after, but you are one step towards achieving your goal. Your decision about your body should be made by you, this is a very important point i want you to note, no boyfriend, husband or friend, wife or girlfriend should make that for you, also the society should not also make it for you, but its quite unfortunate that our society today makes most of our decisions for us, even about our own body again *sobs*, try and understand your insecurities and manage them(we cannot kill our insecurities), know that whatever you see on the T.V or magazines are not original, they are there to make you feel inhuman, once again make your own decisions and trust me once your answer the ‘why’ question, no insecurity will stop you, trust me you might get to the point when you want to give up, that answered question will keep you going, because it becomes your focal point.

Hey, I'm proud of where you are with appreciating your body and generally yourself. It's nice of you to share with us. But my question is at what point did you realise the answer to your 'why'? I want to believe you started, gave up, started again, gave up again and finally you did it and are still doing it. Has this decision about your body affected your life in general?
