What's Your "Compelling WHY"

“If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts,                                         liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.”

― Andrew Carnegie

Question for Consideration:  How can your "compelling why" strengthen the Taylor and Snowflake economy within the next 12 months?

A compelling why is the inspiring force that causes you to take action toward accomplishing what you consider a worthwhile purpose.  It engages your whole person.  It energizes your thinking and actions and expands your abilities.  If you choose, it can be the center of a rewarding, prosperous career.

Your compelling why gives meaning to everything you do. Coupled with your goals, it is the drive that causes you to attempt and accomplish things that in the past you might have considered highly improbable, if not impossible to do; such as strengthening our local economy in the midst challenging times.

Consideration #1:

What inspires you?  What is it that energizes you to take action towards accomplishing your goals and objectives?  It may be greater financial well-being; continuous learning and growth; increased social, emotional and spiritual strength; a more rewarding career; more resilient health; or a sincere desire to contribute more.  If you will take the time to discover your compelling why, describe it in detail and get crystal clear on what it is and then act on it, you will discover an unlimited reservoir of resources to accomplish most anything that’s important to you.  If you’ve already done so, congratulations, you’re on your way to a life filled with purpose.

Consideration #2:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness..." -Declaration of Independence

The year was 1776, and 56 men signed their names to The Declaration of Independence.  They mutually pledged to each other their Lives, their Fortunes, and their sacred Honor.  They had a compelling why... Individual Freedom & Responsibility, safe-guarded by a goverment of the people, by the people and for the people; based on the rule of natural law.  It inspired them to put all they had on the line for it's attainment and inspired many others of their generation to do the same.

Today we enjoy the many advantages and benefits of their efforts and the millions who have given their lives for the same.  In a sense it is the genesis of "why" for each and everyone of us.  It has provided millions with the freedom and responsibility to determine the course of their lives; the freedom to think and act in the pursuit of peace and prosperity.  What is it about the efforts of the Founding Generation that inspires you?

Consideration #3:

Ask yourself this question, “How can I strengthen the local economy within the next 12 months using my compelling why?”  The more times you ask yourself this question the more  insights and answers you will get. Act on those answers.  As you do, answers to fill in the blanks will come. The perfect answer will probably not come all at once, if ever, but if you keep asking good questions and putting the answers to work you will improve what you can do to strengthen the economy and your own prosperity.  Remember, continue to ask good questions; they provide you with good answers and as you act on them the results will be significant.

The power of your compelling why is vitally important;  to you, your family, your friends, our community, and to many others.  Get clear on what it is and use it to inspire yourself and others to greater peace, prosperity, and happiness.

As always, your constructive comments are welcome. What do you think?
