Find Your Why

If you wake up in the morning and know what you are going to do today, you might have a "why" that drives you. If you wake up in the morning and know what the big goal is to which you are aspiring, you might have a why that drives you. But if you are constantly struggling to know what you are supposed to do . . . You may have a why, buried deep inside . . . but the work you do, the daily activity you do, isn't working on the why ,. . .even if you think it is. Would you like to find out if you are working on your why and if you why is driving you? If so, do this exercise carefully without rushing: Ask yourself, what drives me? Why do I want that? Then ask, why do I want the "that" and ask why again and again going deeper and deeper until you find the center of it. Until you find the core reason, the core why that you are doing what you are doing. THEN - and here's the hard part - ask yourself, is what you are doing specifically and exactly moving you closer towards your deepest why? If not - you aren't working on your why, you are working on something else that's not your why. Meaning that you aren't actually working on your why, or driving towards your why, or allowing your why to drive you . . . even if you think you are. And that may be where the struggle is coming from - you have a why - but aren't working on it, even if you think you are.
