What drives people the most? What is the reason, the basic foundational reason why we wake up in the morning? "Um to go to work?" Wrong. Look deeper my friend. What is your WHY?
What is the reason you go to work? For most, it's to make money to support themselves, family if they got one. So now let me ask you this. What's after all finances are taken care of and you're not working. What are you doing OR not doing that 10-year-old you dreamed about doing. PAUSE and reread that again. Riding dirt bikes? Skydiving? Swimming with dolphins?
So what happened? Why haven't you pursued those dreams?
Maybe you don't have the time or the money. If it's any reason other than those then is it really your dream? If you're afraid of trying to pursue it is it really your dream? If you're afraid of what you might look like pursuing your dream is it really your dream? Think about your dream real quick again. Now continue on reading only if you thought of it.
Got the picture? Great! Now ask yourself, can I accomplish this dream when I want to in my life? Don't dwell on the answer but now ask yourself this one. What is it going to take for me to accomplish my dream? The answer to this question is your new goal, write it down. If I had to bet that goal is going to take some time and money.
So putting that to the side, for now, let's get back to your dream. Where are you in your dream picture? What are you doing? Who are you with? How nice is the weather? What sounds do you hear? Why is this your dream?
Why is this your dream?
Let's jump to our pasts to figure out our future real quick. What's the connection between your dream and your past experiences? There is one. There was a key moment in your life for each dream you have. FInd those moments, reflect on them, write them down. Do that now! Those moments are your WHY. They are the reasons why you have the dreams you have and there the reasons why you're gonna accomplish those dreams. Start here with your WHY and that will give you just enough fuel to accomplish your dreams. Just enough. No more no less. There will be times you may seem like you're running out of fuel but the gas tank is just off, trust me.
Write down your WHY, write down your dreams you have from your WHY, and then write down the goals you need to do to achieve that WHY. If it's make more money so be it, find ways to do it, and you will because nothing will stop you and your WHY.
There is no obstacle too great or distance to long that is of greater power than your WHY. If you don't feel the power of it then it's not your WHY, keep searching.
Reflect, Reprogram, Repeat.
