That Big Why is going to be unique for each person and my sense is it is most powerful if we find it by going deep within. I used to want to hear what others big whys were, so to give me some ideas to help me figure out mine. Some reasons I've heard are: so to buy a house, help those in need, give a good life to the family, financial freedom so to travel, great health, lose weight, super fitness, help the environment, become enlightened.
Though I never called it a Big Why, my life journey has been totally committed to my inner healing and spiritual path. I've achieved great highs there, and its why I am who I am now, and I like that person. So that's all good, really good. My Big Why was a search for well being, peace of mind, freedom from a victim mindset, a way to feel safe in the world, to clear the emotional traumas out of my body.
What did I hope these Whys would then give me? An ability to unleash my gifts and creativity. To feel a freedom to fully enjoy life, to know genuine gratitude, and possibly even uplift others along the way!
I now have an inner foundation of well being and trust in life. I'm awakening to an inner spaciousness that is eager to explore a larger arena of life. That of how to give back to the world, be of greater service, and find purpose and meaning through being a part of the larger planetary unfoldment and evolution.
My task now is to ask myself regularly what is my new Big Why. I'm in need of a new reason for being. A reason so big, grand and inspiring that it awakens the entrepreneurial giant within me. Then I will have the inner drive to arise to the challenge of this next chapter of my precious life journey. I've identified here a good many whys that could be my motivators.
Now here is what I feel is key in this. I need to also be clear on what I hope I will get from my new Big Why. What outcome am I seeking?
Coupled with the Big Why, I would also include the Big What. What is the Why going to give me?
How about you?
