WHY???

In everything we do, the level of Why or the Purpose of performing a particular action shall be directly proportional to the outcome that we shall have.

We have our own goals right? Yes we say that our goals should be S.M.A.R.T. = Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound. But until we realize our deepest reasons or purpose in achieving a certain goal, that particular goal won't manifest immediately (or may not even manifest at all).

There you have it now, the magic ingredient called PURPOSE. The clearer and stronger your own purpose is, the more likely that you will attain what you want.

Let's say you want to have an extravagant two-storey house standing on a thousand square meter lot in Tagaytay, with all the amenities such as a swimming pool, basketball court, garden, garage, etc. That can be a perfect goal of yours attainable in about seven years. Think about this goal. Place it in your vision board. Wow! That surely helps. How likely is this goal to come true? Oooops, maybe about 4 points only out of 10 as I would rate it. Now think about this: define your most sincere purpose in achieving this goal. You may say, "I want this dream house to come true because I've already decided not to keep on living in a 3x4 sq.m. room that we will never even own for the rest of our lives... What I truly want is for my family to enjoy living a comfortable life inside our very own wonderful shelter, where relatives and friends would also enjoy visiting us." With that specific, clear, and deep purpose in your heart, I strongly believe that we can already raise the previous rating to a 9 or even a perfect 10 already. Here we see how Purpose is so important in propelling us nearer to what we want to achieve in life.

Whenever you will face obstacles/challenges in your journey towards success, it is your Purpose that will lift you up from the ground, it is your Purpose that will inspire you to move forward, and it is your Purpose that will push you to the limits until, yes, UNTIL you reach your goal.

So may I ask you now: Are you already empowered by the big WHY in what you are doing now? If so, CONGRATULATIONS my friend!!! Your dreams will surely come true!

"To have more of what you want, thank more on what you have." Thank you for reading.
