In recent newsletters, we've discussed human behavior, decision-making, and motivation. Consider this: every day, we encounter numerous decisions; from hitting snooze to choosing breakfast, selecting a wardrobe, and even deciding bedtime routines. Behind these choices lies a fundamental question: "Why?"
We've explored topics such as turning intentions into actions, embracing the power of the present moment, and bridging the gap between knowing and doing. Despite this guidance, many individuals feel stuck, not due to a lack of knowledge but because of a struggle with taking action. If you're facing challenges moving forward, it may be time to dive deeper into your "Why."

"Those who have a why to live can bear almost any how." -Â Friedrich Nietzsche
When individuals understand their motivations and what propels them forward, they're better equipped to navigate obstacles, finding meaning and determination even in adversity. Identifying your "why" empowers you to overcome the "hows" of life, as it provides a deeper sense of purpose.

Here are a couple of practical steps to help you identify your why:
1. Engage in prayer, reflection, or meditation.
2. Read various materials to gain insights into desires, wisdom, and guidance.
3. Recognize your personal gifts and passions, acknowleding your unique design.
4. Seek feedback from mentors, friends, or other leaders in your life.
5. Volunteer or contribute in different capacities.
6. Reflect on identified passions and issues that stir your heart and mind.
7. Embrace personal growth and adapt accordingly.
