YOUR WHAT IS NOT ENOUGH, YOU MUST SEEK TO KNOW YOUR WHY

Michelle Obama said in her book 'BECOMING’

Now I think it is one of the most useless questions an adult can ask a child, what do you want to be when you grow up? As if growing up is finite, as if at some point, you become something and that is the end.

While young, the question often asked is this, What do you want to become? As a little Child, this probably got our attention. I want to be a Doctor, Lawyer, an engineer but probably never considered knowing the 'WHY’.

Ben said in his book ‘ Promote yourself is the new rule in career’, what next after school? It's a big question right? It's possible that after school most people think about the biggest company to work for, the next interview without sitting to think about the why.

Today, I would like us to consider why it is important to know your 'WHY’?

1. YOUR WHY HELPS TO KEEP A SENSE OF PURPOSE

For every man God created, God has a plan and purpose. We all have  reason for being on earth. Your 'WHY’ is a process of DISCOVERY and not INVENTION.

2.  YOUR WHY KEEPS YOU FROM EXCUSES

Excuses often arise when we don't know our why or probably your why isn't strong enough. Procrastination does nothing but to kill. Your ‘WHY gives you an opportunity to question your excuses rather than your ability.

3. YOUR WHY GIVES YOU THE BIGGER PICTURE

It helps you to understand your short goals and your long term goals.

4. YOUR WHY GIVES YOU A SENSE OF JOY & HAPPINESS

Statistics have found out that many people are not happy with the present job or business because they never discovered their Why. Your Why gives you a sense of happiness in building a formidable career.

Thank you for joining me on today’s episode of building a formidable career.
