There I was sitting in an auditorium of 15 thousand people who are motivated to crush their business goals. Why am I not motivated? Why am I not "fired up" as the previous speaker asked the crowd if they were, to which they screamed a resounding "Yes!" along with several minutes of cheering and yelling. Am I lazy? Am I destined to be mediocre, average, another cog in the wheel of life? Will I ever truly be passionate about what I'm currently doing? If not, why am I still pursuing these audacious goals and milestones?
This was me, recently, in fact. Confused about my life at the ripe old age of 26. Belittling and berating myself because I wasn't farther along in the family business. I hadn't achieve the levels of success in my life that my parents had in the same industry and business by their mid twenties. Once I got over my pity party, I started to analyze why I was feeling this way. "What was the root cause?", I asked myself. If I could determine that, I could begin the process of moving forward. Digging deeper into the 8 year journey of building a company and following in my parents footsteps, I realized something. Every decisions that I have made over the last 8 years has brought me to this very moment. The decision to start and every decision to keep going, to keen fighting, and to keep believing that I was going to "make it" had led me to this point. So I asked myself what those decisions were rooted in and the answer is where hope and clarity began to shine through.
Have you ever done something because you felt like you had to or it's what you are supposed to do?
