Happy Wednesday!
As we are approaching a new month and a new season, I thought I would take the chance to reflect and explore the concept of 'the why'. We often focus on the how, but take less time to fully explore the why, and the start of a season presents us with the opportunity to do this.
While there’s no one pathway for discovering your life’s purpose, there are many ways you can gain deeper insight into yourself, a larger perspective on what it is you have to offer to the world.
The word “inspire” comes from Latin, meaning “to breathe life into.” This makes sense because when you’re working toward things that inspire you and that you feel passionately about, it makes you feel alive.
So, what topics and subjects can you talk about for hours? What makes you feel a fire in your belly? What’s going to launch you higher up the food chain into something bigger than what you are now?
This doesn’t mean that you have to declare today that you’ll be the next Steve Jobs or the next Oprah Winfrey; this means that it’s your job to start connecting to a cause that’s bigger than you but still congruent with what you care about.
“He who has a why can endure any how.” - Frederick Nietzsche
Have a great day in life and business!
