The Power of “ WHY ”
Why do we do the things we do?
Some humans live to make the most money, others do it for love, while there are many who live life for the adventure.
There is no one human who does things based on one specific purpose. All of us know “why” we do the things that we do but we don’t know the real power behind it.
Here are the 2 steps in uncovering your why and how to use it to enhance your motivation and move you closer to your goals.
- Imagine where you picture yourself 20 years from now. This will help you know where you are going and if you should do what you are currently doing.
- What gives you joy? This could be buying something new, helping the community, traveling, family or acting. Whatever it is that gives you absolute joy, pick 3 that you can think of and list them down.
Once you list down what makes you happy and what you want in the long run, think about where you are now and how this stage in life can help you move to where you want to go.
If traveling is your purpose, how can your sales job get you to your dream destination?
If you want to build your own company, how can the skills of a salesman propel you to your goal of being a CEO?
Everyone has a “Why” and no matter where you are in life, believe that this is where you need to be. Learn the skills and experience what you need to learn from where you are right now, because your body will know when you need to grow out of your current situation.
Knowing your “Why” will help you know “What” to do and “How” to do it.
So know “Why” you’re here, get up everyday and do all that you can do to reach the “Why” that you’ve been dreaming of.
