One of the common reasons our lives get so complex and crazy is because there’s a big gap between the life we dream of living, and the one we’re actually living. Get clear on what you want from life (your ‘Why’), and work toward it. Anything that’s not on your path can be eliminated or reduced because it’s not important.

Your Why is your source of intrinsic motivation. If you know your Why, you can drum up that little bit of courage and motivation that you need to get started. From there, it’s momentum, not motivation. Your Why is a list of reasons that resonate with you as to why you’re doing something.
So let me ask you;
“What is Your Why?”
This is a legitimate question to ask yourself, and in this video, I will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to find your “why” in life. I hope that these tips can clarify your purpose, and by doing so benefit your life.

Keep asking yourself ‘WHY’ until you get to the core of your ‘Why’. For example, I want to be healthy. Why? So I can lose weight. Why? So I can look good. Why? So I can be confident. Why? I was never pretty or confident as a child and a teenager, this led to me buying designer make-up and clothes I couldn’t afford to get validated by others.
“Nothing gives a person inner wholeness and peace like a distinct understanding of where they are going.” – Thomas Oppong
Visualise the life you want to lead and work on making it a reality, one day at a time. You don’t have to work toward achieving everything that you want at once; just establish what your key goal is today, and work on that. Once you’ve got that one under control, start working on the next one.
As you achieve your small goals, you’ll gain a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Life will become more joyful and easier to deal with, day in and day out.
