What & How is followed by WHY?
Why should we do what we do?
This question we shall ask every time we do something, Plan for something or set up a Goal.
What happens majorly with us is, we start thinking from what to do and begin with looking up options available around and finally put into action but later we realize the enthusiasm we started the task, work or goal with is gone or lost somewhere. We repent on our choice, feel unsatisfied about it and slowly by making such choices again and again end up becoming miserable.
But if we ask ourselves WHY before acting upon anything we avoid many such circumstances. Nevertheless if we could justify the purpose (WHY) to ourselves and we are very much convinced with it, you have won the half battle as said well begun is half done and there are few benefits associated with asking this question to yourself.
1. Fuels our determination : While we convince ourselves to do something for a reason we have fueled the determination to do that task for a longer period of time. Every time we see that there is less enthusiasm to work upon our goals, we can remind ourselves of the reason ( the purpose) of the Goal and certainly if the reason is great enough to keep us going nothing can lower the determination required to complete the Goal.
2. Avoid the distractions : Most of the time we get distracted with the opportunities comes along the journey of reaching the goal and we happen to deviate our path by getting attracted to the short term advantage of that particular opportunity, but if it happens that indicates the purpose is not strong enough. Hence we need to re-look into the purpose. Contrary to that if the purpose is strong enough nothing in the world can hold you back.
3. Limitless Potential : As soon as we think about the purpose we start with the current limit of our potential but believe me that is just the initial point of potential we have and this would not satisfy the need of the purpose and keep us determined for a long period of time. and when we will not be convinced we will exceed this limit and move the limit slight ahead and every time you make a decision for the purpose you would tap into the next level of potential. Over the period of time you would not believe that how much you have improved.
Before ending my words, i would leave you with a thought of WHY?
just take a moment, take a breadth, observe why are you doing what you are doing right now?
