Accomplishment comes when you clearly know why you’re doing it. If you’re vague and unclear about the reasons you’re pursuing it, the accomplishment is never going to happen. Yet when you are filled with passion for the accomplishment, when it is clearly and unmistakably connected to your most deeply held purpose, then it will surely come about. One of the best techniques for accomplishment is not a technique at all. It is simply knowing and understanding why. Many people will offer you their advice on what to do and how to do it. Yet what will truly drive you, and enable you to successfully reach your chosen destination, is knowing why. Rather than struggling through the what and how, seek to understand the real reason why, and the struggle is transformed into a mission. Your choices are made for a reason. Keep that reason in mind when living out those choices. Find the reason why, keep it in front of you, and you’ll have the energy necessary to reach for whatever you have chosen to accomplish. There is enormous power in following a purpose that is truly yours. When there’s something of greater meaning that makes the obstacles seem insignificant, you’ll surely find your way around them. Know why, remember why, and you’ll find joy in fulfilling your most sincere purpose.
