Sense of Life: Remind Yourself of Your 'Why'

Hey there, lovely people! Today, we’re going to have a little heart-to-heart. We’re diving into the deep end, so grab a cup of your favourite brew, get comfy, and let’s chat about something important: your ‘why.’

We all get caught up in the daily grind easily. We wake up, go to work, come home, rinse, repeat. But sometimes, we lose sight of why we’re doing it all in the first place. That, my friends, is what we’re here to rediscover.

The Power of ‘Why’

Your ‘why’ is your purpose, your passion, your raison d’être. It’s the thing that gets you out of bed in the morning and keeps you going when times get tough. It’s the sense of life that’s uniquely yours.

Now, you might be thinking, “That’s great and all, but how do I find my ‘why’?” Well, grab a pen and paper, because we’re about to get introspective.

Finding Your ‘Why’

  1. Look Back: Think about the moments in your life when you felt most alive, most fulfilled. What were you doing? Who were you with? There’s a good chance your ‘why’ is lurking in those memories.

  2. Look Within: What are your passions? What do you love to do, even when no one’s watching? Your ‘why’ is often tied to those passions.

  3. Look Around: What are the causes that move you? What are the problems you want to solve? Your ‘why’ might be right there, waiting for you to take action.

Living Your ‘Why’

Once you’ve found your ‘why’, it’s time to start living it and that, dear friends, is where the magic happens.

Living your ‘why’ means aligning your actions with your purpose. It means making choices that bring you closer to your passions, not further away. It means standing up for what you believe in, even when it’s hard.

But here’s the thing: living your ‘why’ isn’t always easy. Sometimes, it’s downright scary. But let me tell you, it’s worth it. Because when you’re living your ‘why’, you’re living a life that’s truly, uniquely yours. And there’s no feeling quite like it.

When You Lose Sight of Your ‘Why’

Now, let’s be real. There are times when you lose sight of your ‘why’. Life happens, things get busy, and suddenly, you’re back in the daily grind, feeling lost and uninspired.

But here’s the beautiful thing: your ‘why’ is always there, waiting for you to rediscover it. And when you do, it’s like coming home.

Remind Yourself of Your ‘Why’

So, how do you remind yourself of your ‘why’? Here are a few tips:

  1. Write It Down: Put your ‘why’ into words and keep it somewhere you can see it every day.

  2. Talk About It: Share your ‘why’ with the people you love. Saying it out loud makes it real.

  3. Live It: Make choices that reflect your ‘why’ because actions speak louder than words.

  4. Check-In: Regularly ask yourself, “Am I living my ‘why’?” If the answer is no, it’s time to make a change.

Let’s Wrap This Up

So, lovely people, that’s my spiel on the power of ‘why’. It’s your purpose, your passion, your sense of life. And it’s worth fighting for.

Remember, finding your ‘why’ is a journey. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it. Because when you’re living your ‘why’, you’re living a life that’s truly, uniquely yours. And that, my friends, is something to be celebrated.

So, go on. Find your ‘why’. Live your ‘why’. And when you lose sight of it, remind yourself of your ‘why’. Because that’s what gives life its sense, that’s what makes it all worthwhile.

Until next time, stay true to you because there’s no one quite like you. And that’s a beautiful thing.
