Are You Asking "WHY?"

Are You Asking "WHY?"

Are You Asking "Why"?

If you're chasing a title, a goal, or a version of yourself right now, this might be the "why" check you need.

I have a friend more disciplined than anyone I know. 5am workouts. A budget she never breaks. Actual willpower against "remind me in 15 minutes."

Recently she mentioned wanting to tone her thighs just a little more. So I asked the question I always ask: "What is it that motivates you to reach that goal?"

She paused. "Huh. That's a good question. I'd have to think about it."

In this episode, I explore the difference between want and need, internal motivation and external motivation, and why so few of us ever stop to ask which one is actually driving us. I share my own story of chasing a doctoral degree for reasons I hadn't gotten honest about, and what it took to finally see them clearly.
