How Big is Your Why?

My last post talked about 'dreaming big, living large' but how many of you are stuck in the dream?

You probably have (or had) big dreams for your life however, you don't know HOW you will ever attain that dream and make it a reality. Well, there's your problem - you're too concerned with the HOW; instead, how big is your 'WHY'?

That is, why would attaining your dream make a difference in your life? How much of a difference would it make in the lives of others around you and beyond? These questions will help you determine the size of your 'WHY'.

The size of your why is directly linked to your desire. If you have the desire to see your dream(s) manifested, it will kick you into action to make it happen. If it doesn't, then your 'why' isn't as big as you expected. On the spectrum of dream achievement, your 'WHY' must be larger than your 'HOW' otherwise you'll become despondent because you'll get stuck in thinking that your dream cannot be attained given your current resources and condition.

When you focus on the 'WHY' you'll be amazed at the way in which your mind begins thinking of creative ways to bring your 'HOW' into balance with your 'WHY.'

So, the next time you drift away into your dream, monitor your 'WHY' and you shall soon devlop the 'HOW' to making it a reality.
