I personally have asked “Why Me?” on enough occasions that I’m a bit embarrassed.
Did I mention that it’s always been when things weren’t working out the way I thought they should.
Now, I’ve done plenty of work on myself so I know that it’s not the most empowering question to ask.
“Why not me?” is always what follows.
Instead I say, “What is the lesson here?” or “How can I feel better even though this has happened?”
But I absolutely love the idea of balancing all the self-pity out with a bit of self-inquiry.
Yes, “Why did this fabulous thing happen to me?” “Why did this fabulous thing happen to me right now?”
Or maybe it’s all the same and I should just answer with”Why not me?” And “What is the lesson here?” I don’t think the third question really applies but you know what I’m saying, right?
I’m going to start getting conscious about this. At the very least it should add some awareness to significant parts of my life that I have been ignoring or rather- not significantly acknowledging.
How about trying that too? Tell me how it works.
For those who follow teachings like those of AbrahamĀ and Esther Hicks – I bet this will raise our vibrations!

I look forward to your comments.
I tend not to ask “Why me?” when bad stuff happens…mainly, because I normally saw it coming a mile away. As for asking it when good things happen, I am not really sure that I want to examine my strange luck in that manner. I might–it just sounds really grisly.
So very true!
We often take for granted the ‘good things’ and yet we look to place blame and feel put on the ‘bad things’.
Your post is a great reminder!
Thanks for sharing.
Brenda,
first of all – thank you for this inspiring quote at the beginning of this post! Being a huge fan of “The Work” and the Law of Attraction I find the inquiry the biggest treasue in my life to create freedom and peace.
Warm greetings from good old Germany
