It’s the first thing you have to figure out or establish.Knowing your why helps you live a life of authenticity.Living a life of authenticity means what you say and what you do reflects what you believe in.Once you have figured out your why, you go to your how, which is the process.The last circle is the what or the result of going through that process.There are three steps you can take to examine your why’s.Review your relationships and action steps or career paths that you have taken or any forward plans.Review anything you’re doing that you may or may not fully believe in or maybe something that you’ve lost your passion.Perform the celery test mentioned in the book to analyze if what you’re doing right now fully aligns with your values or your why.Listen to the previous episodes hereStart with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon SinekWelcome to Productivity MD where you can learn to master your time and achieve the 5 freedoms in life!Show Notes - When We Lose Our Why for What We DoPlease subscribe and leave a review so you can help others who need the knowledge most discover this podcast.
