What’s your WHY?
Why do you want ‘it’? Why buy ‘xyz’, why move to a different state, why start a business or expand it, why change, why learn, why teach, etc ?
Knowing your why takes you to another level, it gives you purpose, shows a direction, and most importantly, it serves as a DRIVE to get you where you want to go.
Let me give you an example. If I asked you to walk 30 feet and I’d give you $10, would you do it! I’m sure you would. Now if I asked you to walk the same 30 feet for the same $10, but this time there would hot burning coals on the ground, would you do it? Probably not.
What if now there was your child at the end of the hot coals with nowhere to go, would you walk over the hot coals to save your child? In a heartbeat!
See, in this last scenario the reason why changed dramatically and therefore your actions and intention changed.
When you have the reason, the WHY, big enough, it becomes so powerful that you’d do anything.
So what’s your WHY and is it strong enough?
