A short motivational monologue by T. Harv Eker arguing that strong motivation, passion, and purpose come from having a clear, compelling "why." Eker uses his personal experience of financial struggle as an example of a motivating why (helping others succeed). The core takeaway: without a sufficiently big why, you will lack motivation to pursue a goal.
People who don't have motivation in an area don't have energy towards that area. They don't have a passion for it. They don't have a purpose for it. The biggest thing that gives you passion and purpose is your why. Why are you doing what you're doing? If you don't have a big enough why, something that excites you, something that motivates you, then why would you have motivation? You've got to have a bigger why. That why can be for yourself or for others as a purpose. Like, I want to help people succeed because I went through such struggle myself. This is very, very important to me. I know what it feels like to be broke. I know what it feels like to be not nearly as successful as you like to be. I hated it. It was the worst time of my life. And that's why this is so important to me that I help other people succeed, because I know what that felt like. So what's your motivation? What's your why? If you don't got a why, you don't have any motivation.
