One of the more profound experiences I took away from the mastermind event last month was connecting with my BIG Why. Why am I doing this? What is so important, so meaningful, that no matter how low the lows get, I just won’t allow myself to walk away?
The first thing that came to mind when I began journaling about this was Marianne Williamson’s quote. (If you don’t know it click over to my home page). My BIG Why is to help other women reclaim their power and, like one of my clients said, “quadruple it”! My BIG Why is about making a huge transformation in the world one woman at a time.
As each woman realizes that it does not serve her * or the world * to play small, then she can begin to make BIG changes. The purpose of us being here is to find our happiness. What is it that brings us joy, love, gratitude? Once we find that thing, it is our responsibility to help others find theirs.
I am fortunate enough to have found my “thing”. The thing that makes me happier than I have ever dreamed of being. I’m talking about feeling joy and humility in such a deep place that I know I am not alone in this experience. And let me tell you, if I can get to this place, trust me, so can you!
My BIG Why is to be a facilitator so others can do the same for themselves. I’ll let you in on a secret. That’s some scary stuff! That’s a whole lot of playing big that at times I am not sure I’m up to. But the alternative, stepping back and playing small, is just not an option any longer. I have a purpose and I am determined to fulfill it!
So what is your BIG Why? Why do you do what you do? If you are not sure, beyond the surface reason’s of ‘it feels good and I like to help people’, grab your journal and start writing about it. That’s what helped me. Keep going deeper and deeper. Keep asking “why?”
I would very much like to hear what you come up with. Please share it with me below.
Have a great weekend, and I’ll be back on Monday . . . XO
