Why Are You Doing That?

Why?

Why is the sky blue?

Why do I have to get up today?

Why am I doing this?

Why is a simple 3 letter word that can drive us crazy (like when my kids were toddlers and asked why every second about things I had no idea) but also when the WHY is answered it can provide comfort (usually).

I challenge you to ask yourself why. Why are you doing what you’re doing?

Is it because you don’t know what else to do?

Is it because you have no choice?

We’ve all been there, done that.

Or

Is it because you love it?

Trust me, I’ve had my fair share of doing things because I felt I had to put food on the table (work), or to make people happy (personal relationships). But deep down I firmly believe that life is too short to spend it doing something because we don’t know what else to do or feel we have no choice. Even if I slip and don’t always practice what I preach.

There’s always a choice. Maybe not right this minute but with planning and execution you can get there.

It all starts with WHY.

WHY do you want what you want? Is your WHY so important that it’s worth it to you to work hard, lose sleep so you can work on your dream, and make sacrifices in the short term to have your dream life in the long term?

If not then don’t waste your time. If your WHY is something you want to bad you can taste it, then pursue it.

If you’re not sure, then write down your goals and write down your WHY. Make sure it’s meaningful and you really want it.
