Why do you want to achieve your goals? The answer to that question has power. It’s what motivates you. It’s what shows you the right path to take.
If you understand why, maybe you’ll pursue the same goal, or maybe you’ll change to a goal that actually relates more closely to what you hope to gain. Knowing why gives you strength and power. If your goals are challenging (and they should be), achieving them takes hard work and risk. If the goal isn’t really important to you or if you’ve picked a goal that won’t really satisfy the “why,” it’s awfully difficult to maintain the self-discipline to get the job done.
