Who Are You Doing This For? – Day 2 of 365 Leadership Blogging
Have you settled with what life has served you but you know that this can not be it?
You know there is more to you and to your life’s purpose. Don’t you?
You are constantly searching for information, knowledge, opportunity to define your purpose.
Have you looked into yourself lately and asked ‘Is life fulfilling your hunger?’
Are you following the path of your spirit or the path of your heart because your heart can mislead you.
These are the questions that matter.
Who are you doing this for? If you are doing it for you then you create an opportunity to give up. To quit. To delay. To be distracted and turn your attention to something or someone else.
If you are doing it for someone else then you will never give up. You will never give up for your wife, your kids, the reason why you were made.
You will never quit on your relationships. You will never be delayed by other priorities of life. You will never be distracted by others.
So who are you doing it for?
We live in a usable world full of resources but if you don’t know how to use it, it can be a cruel world.
So who are you doing it for?
When you find out what you really want in life don’t ever stop fighting for it. Not matter what the critics say you hold on to it. Because even if you don’t reach it you will have endured a transition to be a stronger, better person than you was before. You can shake the failure off and say ‘hey, I’m going to go and do this instead’. Nothing will be able to hold you like it did before.
And what’s the alternative?
The alternative is that you let go of your dream and stop pursuing what you really want in life and the things YOU DONT WANT in life begin to takeover. You no longer aspire to reach the top and settle for blending in with the crowd at the bottom.
So why are you doing what you’re doing?
Stop living your life like you have a thousand years to live. You have to develop a sense of urgency if you don’t naturally have it in you.
Live each day like it’s your last.
