Monday Morning Motivation – Why
Sharing Resources to Help You Grow Personally, Professionally & Financially
Sometimes, all you need is a dose of encouragement—along with a good cup of coffee!—to start the day. Today, we’ll discuss the power of "why."
Hopefully the message below will help you kick off the week on a positive note. Feel free to share this newsletter with anyone you think might benefit from the content.
Why
Simon Sinek is widely known for his book Start With Why, emphasizes the importance of focusing on our purpose. In his book, he compares the "what-how-why" approach to the "why-how-what" framework. Though this may seem like a minor difference, it has a profound impact.
Most of us begin our days by thinking about what we need to do, then move on to how we’ll do it, and rarely—if ever—reflect on the why behind our actions. Sinek suggests that starting any activity with the question of “why” is crucial. He challenges us to reflect on our deeper purpose.
While most would agree that his approach makes more sense, very few of us take the time OR make the effort to “start with why.” However, when we do begin with a reflection on our purpose, we often find that it reshapes the how and what of our lives.
That brings us to this week’s question:
- Are you starting with your why?
Thanks for sharing a bit of your time with me this Monday morning.
Have a great week!
