Below from the book, All You Have Is Now, by John Patrick Hickey.

Before you can look at how you will make a plan, you need to understand why you are making it. Many have told me that they know what they want to do but don’t know how to go about it. That’s a common problem. Sometimes you need to back up and answer a different question first:
Why do you want to achieve your particular dream?
What is it that motivates you?
You need to understand the reason why before you can know how to go about achieving it. Estate Planner Robert J. McKain said, “The reason most goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first.”

Understanding the reason why you are called to a dream will help you get clarity and motivation to succeed. Tony Robbins always says, “If the why is powerful enough, the how will come.”

This reason for your dream will be the energy that moves you forward in difficult times. Difficult times will come, I promise you that. When they do, you have to have a reason to move forward. There must be something to believe in that is so powerful you will face anything in order to succeed.
Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said, “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.”
