Why: Three letters forming a word with the simplicity and, yet, the power to make us go numb, stumble for words or burst into a litany of excuses. Or whatever we respond could be the essence of the reason why (here's why again) what and how we do what we do.
Why do you donate money to charity? Why do you go to gym? Why don't you support party A and support party B instead? Why do you admire the people you admire? What have you become tired of your job? Why do you keep doing what you do after so many years?
Inspiration, goal setting and pure drive are rooted in the why of things, the reason, motivation and purpose behind plans and actions, leading to desired results. Thousands of companies complain of bad results due to having deviated from their mission, the why of their existence and reason for being.
At an individual level. a little soul searching as to why you chose your profession, the company you are with and the job you do, can help revive the passion in you. That can also help you identify new opportunities for change.
