You CAN do anything, but WILL you?
You CAN do anything, but WILL you?
I was out for a run the other day and found myself pontificating about life, as one is prone to do when the mind can really wander.
As the 30 minutes of my run slowly crept by, and each pace forward felt more labored, a thought popped into my head...
You really CAN do anything.
At that moment, I didn’t want to keep running. It didn’t feel great. In fact, there was a pain in my left foot that felt downright awful.
Nevertheless, I persisted.
I keep putting one foot in front of the other. I slowed my pace a bit to let my breathing slow and heart rate drop. I consciously took the attention off the pain of my left foot, and shifted it to noticing my arms swinging at my sides.
I can do anything, but will I?
I could have abandoned the run when it stopped feeling good. When my heart rate hit 180. When my left foot started to hurt. When my lungs labored to breathe.
But I chose to continue.
I reminded myself of why I was there.
I choose to run because I want to live a healthy, vibrant life. Because I never regret a run when it’s done. Because I desire an active and energetic life. Because it clears my mind and allows me to live in the present moment. I choose to run for me.
I am very clear on my WHY as it relates to running, but also as it relates to other things I choose to do, especially in my work.
Are you clear on your WHY? And is your WHY helping you reach your goals?
Far too many business owners are focused on the WHAT and the HOW. It starts with “What do I WANT?” and continues with “HOW will I get there?”
But what’s missing from that equation is WHY the hell do you even want it to begin with!
If your motivation isn’t clear, or strong enough, you simply won’t do the work to reach your goals.
So as you start pontificating about your own life & goals for the coming year, consider the following…
WHAT do you want to experience or achieve in 2022?
WHY do you want to experience or achieve each part of it?
Only when the WHY is super clear and feels HELLA exciting, should you proceed to the HOW.
The WHAT & WHY are your strategy. The HOW are your tactics.
CEO’s live in the WHAT & WHY. Struggling entrepreneurs live in the HOW.
Which one are you?
