Ask Yourself Why [Part 2]

Last week, you were challenged to ask yourself why you didn’t like something. Today, I would like to do the opposite: explore something you do like.  The first time you notice yourself enjoying something today – whether it be a song, a video, a snack, a statement, a person, an embrace… Ask yourself why.  Why do you like it?
