(Below from the book, The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy)

Your choices are only meaningful when you connect them to your desires and dreams.
The wisest and most motivating choices are the ones aligned with that which you identify as your purpose, your core self, and your highest values.
You’ve got to want something, and know why you want it, or you’ll end up giving up too easily.

So, what is your why?
You’ve got to have a reason if you want to make significant improvements to your life.
And to make you want to make the necessary changes, your why must be something that is fantastically motivating – to you.

The power of your why is what gets you to stick through the grueling, mundane and laborious.
All of the hows will be meaningless until your whys are powerful enough.
Until you’ve set your desire and motivation in place, you’ll abandon any new path you seek to better your life.
If your why-power – your desire – isn’t great enough, you’ll end up like every other person who makes a New Year’s resolution and gives up too quickly and reverts to sleepwalking through poor choices.

Identifying your why is critical.
What motivates you is the ignition to your passion, the source for your enthusiasm, and the fuel of your persistance.
You MUST know your why.
