Wake up. Chug coffee. Burn my mouth. Go to work. Come home. Sleep. That’s my mouse wheel. Some days I wake up ready to take on the world while other days I rather be trapped in an elevator with all my Ex’s. The thing is though that on those days I didn’t want to get up are the days I forgot my why.
WHAT IS YOUR WHY? (take this time to think)
We all need to have a why. Why we wake up, why we go to work, why we fight for things, WHY WE LIVE. Living without a why is playing a sport, going into the game and not knowing the rules. It’s like going into battle and not having a game plan, you’re going to lose. OUR WHY IS THE CENTER OF OUR PURPOSE, it’s what we revolve around. The beautiful thing is that each why is different. Some whys may be for money, for future successes, to better themselves, their why may be for somebody or something. My why is my family and my faith.
I wake up for two things, my loved ones and my God. I work hard because my parents worked hard for me. I wake up because my family needs me. I FIGHT BECAUSE I HAVE A GOD WHO FIGHTS FOR ME. I keep walking because my God is walking with me. It’s easy to forget our why and fall into a pattern of life where we feel like we are on a mouse wheel. EACH DAY HAS A MEANING AND THAT’S YOUR WHY, THAT’S WHAT SETS EACH DAY APART. Don’t fall into the pit of meaningless days but remember your why and get up. Put your why on a post it note on your mirror, frame your why and put it on your desk. Remind yourself continuously why you do the things you do. ONCE YOU FIND YOUR WHY YOU WILL FIND EACH DAY IS A NEW ADVENTURE TO GET YOU TO WHERE YOU NEED TO BE.
For my family, thank you for giving me the strength to write this blog. For my God, thank you for waking me up today.
FIND YOUR WHY.
