Why Do I Want This Goal?
He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.
Nietzche
This is what gives you your motivation. It’s the fuel, the energy, the reason for putting in so much effort. If you don’t have a reason why you want to achieve your goal, then what are you doing it for?
Remember that the whole reason why you’re going through this process, is because your goal is something that you can’t just achieve simply & easily. The whole reason why it’s a goal is because it’s something that’s moving you out of your comfort zone & makes you have to work harder than usual to achieve. Otherwise you would have achieved it already, wouldn’t you? So when that moment comes & the going gets tough, you’re going to wonder if it’s really worth it. It’s at those moments that you will need to draw on the reason(s) for why you’re putting yourself through all this.
Find as many reasons as humanly possible & write them down…all of them. Some will be filled with focus & passion, others may not. Although it can also be the small reasons that still make the real difference as well, especially if there’s tons of them.
