The Why

It must begin with a reason, The Big Why. Because the compelling Why will be the fuel that propels the dream. Your compelling why is unique to you. It will be the light that ignites you to action, the fire that sparks your passion.

The inner fire must burn bright to stay the course, or the star we follow will burn out. Impossible dreams are possible with passion. Without a compelling ‘Why’ that drives us, we will struggle to stay motivated and inspired, losing our sense of connection to meaning and purpose.

I wonder…what is your compelling Why? Has there been a deep pain in your life that you would like to make sure no one else suffers, if you can help it? Is there a legacy you want to leave, or to be an inspiration to others?

Often the compelling Why is based in our own desire to make the world a more just place, to relieve suffering, or solve something that we know in our heart is solvable. 

Creating a life we love means we walk the path of a story of a life well-lived to the fullest. Aligning with the dream of living a life that is on our own terms has the hallmark of passion and spirit, moving always toward what matters most to us.

So as you go about your day, consider the ways you would like to leave the world a better place because you were here. What is a life well-lived by your own definition?

I pray these things will become oh so clear today, to light your way and ignite your heart. 

Distilled to three simple words for today: The Compelling Why.
