A short monologue about discovering and applying one’s personal "why." The speaker explains that knowing your why helps you choose compatible jobs and friends, build deeper relationships, prioritize activities that produce joy and fulfillment, and make better use of limited daily time and life years.
So once we learn our why, we have the opportunity to apply it in all different parts of our lives.
For jobs. For example, we want to work for a company that our why complements the company's why. We're more likely to fit. We're more likely to feel like we belong. It goes with our friends, too, believe it or not. We do it inherently. You know, there's lots of nice people in the world, but we're not friends with everybody in the world. We're friends with the people that we share values with. But sometimes we have people in our lives, let's be honest, that we may have a good time with them, but it's not a deep, meaningful relationship. Knowing your why actually helps you understand why. The deep, meaningful relationships are the deep, meaningful relationships. It's a new way of understanding the value of people in our lives. You know, how trust builds. But the opportunity is to use it to find things that are more likely to produce joy, success, focus, inspiration, and fulfillment in the decisions we make, the books we read, the people we keep in our lives, where we invest our time and where we invest our energy. We get a limited amount of time in the day and a limited amount of years on the planet. It's the great equalizer. Whether we're rich or poor, we all have 24 hours in a day. And the idea is to get as much out of those hours and as much out of those years as possible.
