The WHY

I was watching CNBC yesterday night and they were interviewing 4 mulit-millionaires, including Robert Kiyosaki. It feels different to look at him on TV when I've met him in person - to know that he is still a man.

In this show, they had many prepared questions & questions from the audience. The question that got me was something to the effect of

How did you achieve your success?

One man got so passionate about what he was saying, he stood up,

The how isn't nothing compared to the WHY. If the WHY is strong enough, the HOW will come.

The interviewees sitting around him started shaking their head in agreement. Then, each told their story of WHY, their passion - what kept them going through the good times and even when times get rough.

That moment was a self reflection. Even though I've had some success and some failure, I had to look inside for my WHY. WHY do I not give up. WHY do I keep persisting my dream and ignoring those to go for the 'secure' job.

I look at my family and there is my WHY. It's been strong enough to take me where I am today, despite everything that I've gone through. I'm still as passionate about my why as I was back then - but couldn't put my finger on just what it was. If not for my WHY, I certainly would have gotten a job, but no. My WHY means too much to me. It burns within me. I feel it from my heart to the pit of my stomach.

The answer is not to give up. The answer is to correct and continue. I know my WHY and why I keep pressing on.

My purpose is greater than any and all fears.

Attractor Factor: Now I know it is not chance, because the attractor factor played it's cards once again. I am re-reading Napoleon Hill's book - Think and Grow Rich. I was currently on the part of Faith and Desire - the passion, the WHY people do what they do. It is no coincidence that this plays out.
