What Do You Want? And More Importantly, Why Do You Want It?
We all have goals:
- You want to grow your income.
- You want to publish a book.
- You want to lose 10 pounds.
But let’s pause for a moment. What’s the real reason behind each of these goals? More importantly, why do you want them?
Let’s break it down and dig deeper into the “why” behind each of these goals:
1. I Want to Grow My Income. Why?
What happens when I grow my income?
- I can help my children afford college or secure their first apartment.
- I can treat my wife to a memorable vacation we’ve always dreamed of.
- I can donate to causes close to my heart and make a real difference in the world.
Growing my income isn’t just about numbers; it’s about the opportunities and experiences that come with it.
2. I Want to Publish a Book. Why?
Why do I want to share my words with the world?
- I want to help others. Whether it’s through sharing wisdom in a nonfiction book or offering an escape through a fiction novel, I want my words to matter.
- A fiction book can offer someone a brief respite from the chaos of life and bring them moments of joy and relaxation.
- A nonfiction book can empower someone with knowledge that might change their perspective or even their life.
A book isn’t just a collection of pages; it’s an opportunity to make a lasting impact.
3. I Want to Lose 10 Pounds. Why?
Why do I want to improve my health?
- I want to feel stronger and have more energy for the activities I love.
- I want to improve my blood work and lower the risk of health issues down the road.
- I want to enjoy a longer, healthier life — so I can spend more time with my family and friends, making memories.
Losing weight isn’t just about appearance; it’s about living better and taking control of my well-being.
The Power of “Why”
I love attaching a clear why to every goal. It fuels motivation, helps me stay focused, and ensures that I’m working toward something that truly matters.
But here’s the thing: It’s okay for your “why” to evolve. Sometimes, you might discover that a goal doesn’t have a strong enough why behind it. If that’s the case, maybe it’s time to reassess. If there’s no deeper reason, maybe that goal no longer makes sense, and it’s time to focus on something that does.
So, What Do You Want? And Why Do You Want It?
Your goals are a powerful tool. But to truly make them happen, take a moment to uncover your why. Understanding the deeper purpose behind your goals is what will keep you going — even when the going gets tough.
