We asked “In life we should strive to_________.” We received more comments than ever in one day! You can always see comments by commenting, or go to thinkdaily.com and scroll to see what people are saying.
To this question, if one said “To serve others” or “to be our best selves,” or any other answer, if one asked you “Why?”, what would you say? Then if they asked “Why?” again, what would you say? Then again, then again, until there was no further answer on your part, you’d invariably wind up with “Because I want to be happy.”
That is what we should strive for – to be happy – whatever that is for us.
Love is a choice. Happiness is a choice.
Happy is the it for me as well!
Strive to: Retire to a Vermont mountain top and enjoy the view
In the most difficult time of my sales career, I found myself asking Why every day before starting.
Why did I go to work? Why did I leave my family at home? What am I doing here? What am I working to accomplish? Why not stay home?
Focusing my day on Why helped me get my mind right so I could accomplish the results I wanted.
Doing that was so successful that I’ve kept it to this day.
Without asking yourself the hard “why” questions, you’ll never be clear on what you truly want.
If you’re not clear, you won’t get the results you want.
