WHY

we all set goals for ourselves and put hard work to achieve it but often in our journey when you are facing trouble doing hard work of achieving your goals.
It's common to believe you simply lack willpower  I disagree
it's not enough to choose to be successful  What’s
going to keep you consistent with the new positive choices you
need to make? What’s going to stop you from falling back into
your mindless bad habits? What’s going to be different this
time versus the times you’ve tried and failed before? As soon
as you get the slightest bit uncomfortable, you’re going to be
tempted to slide back into your old, comfortable routine.
You’ve tried willpower before and it’s failed you. You’ve
set resolutions and you’ve let them go. You thought you were
going to lose all that weight last time. You thought you’d
make all those sales calls last year. Let’s “stop the insanity”
and do something different so you can get different and
better results.
Forget about willpower. It’s time for why-power. Your
choices are only meaningful when you connect them to your
desires and dreams. The wisest and most motivating choices
are the ones aligned with that which you identify as your
purpose, your core self, and your highest values. You’ve got
to want something, and know why you want it, or you’ll end
up giving up too easily.
So, what is your why? You’ve got to have a reason if you want
to make significant improvements to your life. And to make you
want to make the necessary changes, your why must be something
that is fantastically motivating—to you. You’ve got to want to get
up and go, go, go, go, go—for years! So, what is it that moves you
the most? Identifying your why is critical. What motivates you is

the ignition to your passion, the source for your enthusiasm, and fuel your persistence.

An Analogy

If I were to put a ten-inch-wide, thirty-foot-long plank on the

ground and say, “If you walk the length of the plank, I’ll give
you twenty dollars,” would you do it? Of course, it’s an easy
twenty bucks. But what if I took that same plank and made a
roof-top “bridge” between two 100-story buildings? That same
twenty dollars for walking the thirty-foot plank no longer looks
desirable or even possible, does it? You’d look at me and say,
“Not on your life.” See pic below
However, if your child was on the opposite building, and
that building was on fire, would you walk the length of the
plank to save him? Without question and immediately—you’d
do it,
