What is your why?

There is always a reason behind every action. There is a motive behind every endeavor. A goal or a purpose is a powerful objective to strive for, but even more powerful is the reason behind the purpose. What is your why in what you are trying to accomplish right now with your life? What is the reason why you wake up every morning? Your why is the fuel that ignites and drives your purpose. It is the fire that burns inside you, which refuses to die even when everything around you wants to dampen and put the fire out! It is a desperate father’s source of  strength when the going gets tough. It is the force behind a mother’s stubborn attempt to keep getting up even when her body is too exhausted to get up. Your why is the power behind your tenacity and why you won’t quit even if the whole world tells you to give up. It’s the reason why you get up again and again after every fall and why you refused to stop the fight even when everyone is telling you the game is over. Knowing your reason behind your dreams and goals is the key to your ability to stand when everyone around you decides to give up and  leave you alone. Knowing your why is the energy which fuels your resolve even when you are the only one left believing in your dreams. What is your why?
