Why do I have to change?
Hello there! nice to see you around again. Why are you reading this post right now? cause you want to?, or you clicked a link somewhere and it brought you here. No matter the reason there is one thing common to you and everyone else reading this post, which is... da! ding! we've all witnessed change at a certain point in our lives, some of you guys have changed (willingly or forcefully), and the rest of you guys are probably pondering on a particular part of your lives you've either been thinking of changing or have been told by somebody to change. Regardless of what case is yours, don't embark on the journey of change without discovering your why.
Your "why" becomes your purpose once you start to change.
Change change change, You've probably heard at least a dozen people share the point where they abandoned a particular activity/ lifestyle and chased something else. Well while this is good it often leads a lot of people down the wrong path. Your reason for change shouldn't be something that works for you but something you're willing to work for/ work on. I won't be giving you a long list on reasons on why you need to change( there's a lot of that on the internet already). But rather I have 2 steps to take in order to recognise your why based on my past experiences.
Your reason for change shouldn't be something that works for you but something you're willing to work for/ work on.
Identify your desired goal right now. What is that thing you want right now but seems to be farther away the more you act on it. Identify it and write it down.
Identify what you need to do. Most times after clearly writing out our goals we realise we've been chasing it the wrong way. With a little research write out that you need to do to achieve your goal and begin to work on it.
There! May look simple but it's really effective I wish I realised this back when I was younger.
After finding out your why, you just need a little tweaks here and there and you are good to go my friend.
Thank you for reading through. I hope you learnt a thing or two.
See you in the next one.
