True Take 018: The Importance of the “Why” Factor

(Podcast episode) Feeling especially reflective when I recorded this on Monday. Thinking about the things that I’ve tried and failed at over the course of my life, but especially in the last 5 years. Anything and everything that was not tied into a clear heartfelt purpose that could answer a “why” for me, didn’t pan out. I was left feeling empty and not so fulfilled. The “jokes on me” kind of feeling. Not that it wasn’t an important lesson, it was and continues to be. Chasing a “thing”, the “idea of something”, or the allure of something to make me more than what I already possess, is an illusion. Getting clearer on my overall “why” and I encourage others to do that questioning for themselves. Funny, because it seems like a good time to do so as structures and concepts fall apart all around us. Cutting through the BS. Not looking for something outside of you to make or break you. It’s all about you. You are enough.
