Have you ever thought, “Why does this even matter?” I think all of us had that thought at some point. For me, it is when my alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m. and I have to decide between snooze and getting my happy behind out of bed. Some days are better than others; for the most part, I can roll myself out of the cozy snuggle and start my day.
Why?
It’s all because of the ‘why’– our purpose for doing things. I am going to wake up at 5 AM is a much different statement than I am going to wake up at 5 AM because I want my mental health to improve. Notice the keyword because– the because changes everything. Because is the answer to your ‘why’ and your motivation.
Here, you finish the sentence:
- – “I will show up on time for all of my classes in the fall semester because…”
- – “I want to go to college because…” OR
- – “I don’t want to go to college because…”
- – “I want to set [insert boundary] in my dating relationships because…”
Think about it! When things get tough, what is going to keep you in that decision? It is your BECAUSE, your WHY.
Last challenge! I want you to think of one goal you have in your life right now. What is your why? Connect with us on IG: @EdcuationforaLifetime to share your why.
