My WHY


Whilst mowing on a tractor I was listening to my audiobook. 

"Millionaire Success Habits," it was, and had me hooked. 

The soft and gentle tones of the narrator described...

An experience the author had taken the time to transcribe.

Business growth was the goal, said he, and a teacher of his, said WHY?

"To help people," was the response he cried. 

But the teacher said WHY, once more. 

An answer then came forth. 

The teacher asked him 7 Times, and each got truer toward his true WHY. 

Upon reading the book upon my shelf, I decided to try it for myself. 

WHY am I reading this, I asked. And got right down and to the task. 

WHY, WHY, WHY is this important to me?

I drilled down as far as my emotions could see. 

And then the beautiful sereneness came. 

Of an answer from a MUCH bigger game. 

TO RID THE WORLD OF UNEMPOWERMENT, I said.

I want to help people avoid feelings of dread. 

Operating from a CORE WHY will change everything you do, 

That's why I did it, and you can too.
