WHY Institute

If someone had to sum up your greatest strength in one word, what would it be? Drop it below!

Most people underestimate the power of simple habits. But science backs this one up: What you think repeatedly shapes what you believe, and what you believe influences your actions. Dr. Gary Sanchez started writing the same sentence every morning in his journal: "Today will be a great day." At first, it might seem small. But over time, that single habit changed how he approached each day. Instead of waking up reactive, he trained his brain to expect a positive outcome—and then acted accordingly. This is more than just positive thinking. It’s about setting an intention and reinforcing it until your mind sees it as reality. Try it for a week. Every morning, write it down. Then notice how your decisions and mindset shift throughout the day.

Ever feel like you're living the same frustrating situations on repeat? Same struggles at work. Same conflicts in relationships. Same feeling of being stuck, no matter what you try. It’s not a coincidence. It’s a pattern. And patterns don’t change until you do. When you understand what truly drives you—your WHY—you start to see the real reason behind the choices you make, the people you attract, and the situations you find yourself in. Awareness is the first step. Alignment is the next. Ready to break the cycle? Drop a ?? in the comments if this hits home.

For the longest time, we thought we were arguing about the little things—who left the dishes in the sink, how to spend the weekend, why one of us needed more structure while the other craved spontaneity. But it was never really about those things. Once I understood my WHY, I finally saw the real issue—we see the world differently. What drives me isn’t what drives them. And when I realized that, everything shifted. More understanding. Less frustration. Real connection. If you keep clashing with your partner and can’t figure out why… it might not be what you're arguing about. It might be how you see the world. Know your WHY. Understand theirs. Watch everything change.

You can have the title, the paycheck, the achievements… and still feel like something’s missing. Because real success isn’t just about how much you earn or how others see you—it’s about how alive you feel doing what you do. -The work that excites you, not just pays you -The relationships that energize you, not just impress others -The choices that align with who you truly are When you’re in alignment with what drives you, success isn’t just something you achieve—it’s something you experience. #AlignedSuccess #KnowYourWHY #FulfillmentOverStatus

Do you know your WHY? Back in 2020, I took a survey to help me discover my WHY, my personal purpose.?My WHY is to “Contribute”.?In the definition by the WHY Institute… I want to be part of a greater cause.?I want to make a difference in the lives of others.?I seek to add value in everything I do. So how does this relate to my work as a Business Coach??Here is my purpose:?“Inspiring people and teams to achieve their greatest potential… Fully and Freely.” Recently, I sat down with Gary Sanchez DDS of the WHY Institute on his podcast to discuss my WHY and how it has affected my work as a Business Coach. My WHY comes into play daily as I help entrepreneurs succeed in their businesses and lives.?It helps me, too, because their success drives my success. We had a great discussion and a lot of fun, too. It’s a short talk, so give it a listen. You, too, can discover your WHY, your calling, and your purpose. Reach out if you want to chat.
