Imagine waking up every day not just to accomplish tasks or chase fleeting moments of happiness but to live a life deeply aligned with a purpose that resonates at the very core of your being. This is the essence of discovering your WHY.
Our brains tell a fascinating story about this. While the neocortex helps us process facts, figures, and language, it is the limbic brain that governs our feelings, our trust, our loyalty—the very emotions that guide our decisions.
Consider Steve, a steel salesman who had spent over two decades believing his job was about selling steel. Yet, when asked why he loved his work, he struggled to answer until he realized his true WHY was about protecting the planet for future generations through sustainable practices.
Money, often mistaken as the driving force behind our actions, is merely a result—an outcome of deeper motivations such as freedom, security, or legacy.
Discovering your WHY is more than an intellectual exercise; it is a journey into the stories of your life, the moments that shaped you, the emotions that stirred your soul. By mining these memories, you uncover the golden thread that weaves your unique purpose.
As we embark on this journey together, remember that the WHY is your compass, guiding you toward a life of meaning and joy. The next step is to learn how to uncover this WHY, to listen to your stories and those of your tribe, and to begin the process of articulation. Let us move forward into the discovery of your WHY.
