WHY the Hell Are You Taking The Journey?
You often hear that having a goal is important. You can not win without a goal.
BUT then people tell you you must enjoy the journey. You must enjoy the pain along the way to the goal.
BUT do you know WHY are you on the journey in the first place?
Knowing why you need to endure something is critical to be willing to pay the price of staying on the journey. There is always a price. You have to be willing to pay the price and that is the WHY?
It is very easy to figure out the HOW and WHAT needs to be done. Whether it takes 20 hours to figure out OT 10000 hours to master. Most things can be figured out.
BUT no one can tell you or you give you the feeling as to WHY.
So why are you moving along the journey to get to the destination?
It is will be great to X…WHY?
As important it is that to know the destination BUT also what will move you from the start.
Don’t fall in love with certainty. How many steps will you need to take? That is less important than realizing that at times the steps are a slow crawl. ON your knees dragging along.
Knowing the WHY and accepting the PAIN will help you on the crawl along on the journey.
Too much theory for you?
My goal is to one day not work for anyone else. That is the destination. At times I end up working for myself. Some by my choice and at times by the choice of others.
That lack of control is a pain point for me. And that is the WHY I am always thinking about what I can do on the side to flip my current reality of having to work for a company into one that I can make a living working for myself.
Mental dominance…can you separate your current reality and forge towards a destination? It is critical that your WHY weapon is ready and sharp.
My four cents…
