I could hardly start doing anything for my business. I just was too \u201clazy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But why was that? I was wondering about that question until the afternoon, and then I found my answer:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I came to a point at which I asked myself: \u201cWhy should I do that stuff? Why not wait and to it tomorrow, it will be ok, you will not miss anything by that one day!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, <strong>I<\/strong> <strong>could not really answer that question honestly<\/strong> in the situation and mood I was in today. I could not find a reason which would beat \u201claziness\u201d and set up \u201cwork\u201d instead.<\/p>\n<p>And then, with the speed of light, I became clear about what my obstacle was and how I could overcome it:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em><strong>I was missing my BIG WHY!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As you know, we always need to know why we do something. We don\u2019t do anything without purpose. We want to gain happyness, we want to gain attention from our environment, we want wo gain a better lifestyle or we want to make the world better \u2013 or at least a part of it!<\/p>\n<p>My <strong>WHY<\/strong> was not strong enough today. I have a <strong>WHY<\/strong> and I\u2019ve written it down, but it seems <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">that I have not cultivated it enough<\/span>, because today, it seemed to me like it was not big enough to motivate me and to \u201cpull me out of my couch\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, I make some exercises for myself to develop a strong <strong>WHY<\/strong> and fill it <em>with intention and purpose and with significance<\/em> so that it will raise me up whenever I think about it. I will strengthen it until I\u2019m tired in the morning, but although get up, because I want to work on my goal!<\/p>\n<p>As soon as I have reached this point, there will be nothing between me and my success. The only thing which makes the difference between success and disappointment is <em><strong>persistence<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>If your <strong>WHY<\/strong> is strong enough to lift you up and make you want to wake up early so that you don\u2019t miss one only second to walk towards your big goal, <em><strong>you don\u2019t need to struggle anymore with laziness or lack of motivation<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>At that point, you are not working anymore, you are <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">building your dream<\/span><\/strong>. And this does not request real effort, but instead fills your whole activity with joy, ease, power and magic.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself on that same point one day which I\u2019ve met today, \u00a0remember to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">work on your <strong>WHY<\/strong><\/span>. Once your big reason is set up and cultivated, everything else will come automatically.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you like this article, please share it on Facebook and Twitter!
