I often wonder how can I make a difference? How can I change the world? What can I do to move forward in my dream?
But while it is easy to ask “how” or “what”, everything derives from the question “why.”
Why gets to the heart of the issue.
Why takes away distractions.
Why is the reason you get out of bed.
Why is your mission statement.
Why is your driving force.
My why is this—I want to encourage you to use your God-given gifts. To help you pursue your passion and follow your dreams.
Have you determined your why? If so, what do you think it is? If you haven’t figured it out, now is the time to figure it out!
It takes some time to figure out your why.
It is a process of connecting the dots and looking inward.
To figure out your why, it is essential to ignore the fear-filled voices in your head.
Here are three steps to figure out your why:
1. Take inventory of what you like to do. What are some of your hobbies and passions?
2. How can you use what you enjoy to help others?
3. Take some time to connect those together.
It is not a quick process. It took me about 6 months of reflection to figure out my why.
Keep working on it and don’t give up!
