This is a YouTube video titled "Why Is Finding Your 'Why' Is Important? #shorts" containing a monologue or talk from January 5, 2023, discussing the significance of having a sense of purpose in life and work to find meaning, build confidence, and achieve fulfillment.
So why is the why so important? It gives the things we do meaning. It's like, if we don't have a sense of purpose, then you're doing the thing you're doing just for the sake of doing it. I'm making money just for the sake of money. I'm turning this wrench just for the sake of turning this wrench. And when we do things that contribute to something else, contribute to something bigger, it gives our lives and our work meaning. And when we have a sense of meaning, when we have a sense of purpose, it does many, many things to us. It builds our self-confidence. It makes us better decision makers. It makes us better in relationships. and at the end of the day, it makes us enjoy our lives and find fulfillment in our work. A lot of people don't think about it this way. They don't think about, what's the reason I'm doing all of this? We usually default to, I gotta pay my bills. That's a function. And so to truly understand purpose, I think, like I said, it sort of just has positive effects all over the place.
