One of the most important principles in Oola is to figure out your “why.” Why you strive for a particular goal…why you take on a new challenge…finding your “why” is key to finding the motivation you need to do the previously impossible.
So, the question has come up, WHY do I share Oola with others? I am not an Oola employee, I am not getting paid for this. So why did I randomly anoint myself as the “OolaLawyer” and share this message, especially coming from the legal world where every minute is profit, and every second is billed in six-minute increments?
There was never a doubt in my mind that I would share Oola, but this WHY has taken me a bit longer to figure out. After some reflection, here are my WHYs for sharing Oola:
- You learn by teaching. This has always been true for me. With Oola it is no different. I delve deeper into the concepts and absorb the lessons much more when I am explaining Oola to others.
- It keeps me accountable to me. Sharing Oola on a daily basis is like getting an Oola tattoo without the ink. Oola was such a revolution in my life, such a game-changer that I refuse to forget it over time. By sharing Oola everyday, I have a constant reminder of my commitment to the OolaLife.
- It keeps me accountable to others. By sharing Oola with others, especially my family and friends, I create a built-in system to make sure I am practicing what I preach.
- You don’t earn money by eating, sleeping, breathing, it’s no different with Oola-ing. Just as eating, breathing, sleeping are essential to a healthy life, so is Oola. Just a few years ago, suffering from burnout, stress, and an unhealthy lifestyle, I picked up the Oola book and it changed my life. It likely saved my life. It is now such a core function of who I am that I do it with or without money. Having an activity like that in this day and age is refreshing to say the least.
- I am helping to change the world with a word. This message needs to be everywhere, in every home, workplace, school. Sharing Oola through my words and actions is just one small way to help that effort.
- Oola works. It changed my life for the better and I know it will do the same for others.
- I couldn’t stop thinking about it. See graphic below, nuf said.

So…those are my “whys.”
Be Grateful and Have Faith,
OL
