Your “why” is so important. Your why determines what you do and how you do it.
Know your why and life gets clearer.
What you do.
How you do it.
If you keep at it or if you give up.
What you say yes and no to.
How you spend your time.
If you don’t know your “why” in life, everything feels like a blur. It’s hard to focus on doing things that bring purposeful traction to your life because you’re unsure of what your reason is.
If you want to be an influential and attentive parent to your kids, you are going to make different choices than the parent who is apathetic about their kids.
If your goal as a high school teacher is to see 100% of your students pass their advanced placement tests in algebra, you are going to act in a much different manner than the teacher who is uninterested in achieving a high pass rate.
If you want to be a coach, you are going to study how people learn and what people in your coaching niche want and need and behave.
Do you see why knowing your why is so important?
If you see your current life activities as simply a way to get where you are going, it may be hard to turn off the television when you should be putting in hours to achieve your dream.
You may find yourself following a number of interests and activities but not getting better in any of them.
Life is not a way to escape.
Life is an adventure to explore.
Life is a mystery to discover.
Are you spending your time trying to escape your life?
Or are you on a quest to fulfill your purpose, your “why?”
It’s worth taking the time to figure out.
I want to hear your comments.
Have you found your “why?” How did you know? Did you have trouble living in it?
Or, are your activities an escape from your life?
