Why do I, do what you do?

Welcome back!


Why do I do what I do? Why do I speak about my personal story on abuse and misfortune? Why do I write about my failure and setback in life? Why do I go back if I have already surpassed these things?

I go back to pay if forward…I go back to set a light for the next brave soul.

 dream

In that dark lonesome place between a dream dreamed and a dream realized,

I have left a little light for you so you will know that someone cares and believes in your dream.

 

Just where it becomes the most dark and difficult to find your way, there is the light I left for you.

 

It will light your way, through the doubt, the confusion, and the fears,

It will stay with you all the way to the realization of your dream.

And when your dream has come true, please go back to that darkest place
where you have been,

And set the little light there to give heart to the next sweet soul that braves the path to his or her dreams.

Dreamers are the architects of greatness. There wisdom lies within their souls.

 

Dream long enough and hard enough and your dream can be attained. 

by Unknown Author

 

That is why I do, what I do! Why do you do what you do?

Because I couldn’t find anybody to do it for me?
Just kidding!
I do it because I love doing it!

I love the dreamers are the architects of greatness line.

Knowing why you do what you do is powerful. Self-awareness is a powerful tool.

If I had to summarize a one-liner on why I do what I do, I would say it’s to get exponential results for the underdog. The longer version is to improve the quality of life for as many people as I can, as long as I can.

I did a Golden Circle workshop a while back, and learned lots. Here’s my key learnings … http://sourcesofinsight.com/2008/12/12/why-do-you-do-what-you-do/.

Thanks for leaving a light for me, Giovanna. I’ll be sure to leave a light for the next person who needs one………………….:)

That is an interesting light, I sometimes wonder myself why do I blog, why do I care about working or getting ahead?
And I remind myself of what I am trying to achieve, and more importantly that I don’t want to be in the current situation I am in and the people around me are.

And no it ain’t easy, part of the journey that makes it clear for me to pursue my goals, is having the passion for what I do. That is probably the key ingredient.

Hi Alik

That is awesome you are an architect! So you already got half of the greatness receipts… GO out and start taking imperfect action and apply your architectural skill on your dream. And everything else will fall into place.

I do what I do because I believe in dreams, when you believe in dream you believe in life and living life for self. When you live life for self you want to share the joy and happiness living life for self brings. So, I do what I do because I want other people to live their dreams too.

Christopher says: 11 February 2009 - 6:20 pm

Why do I do? I’m a dad and husband because I love my family and want them to feel loved and have the best life possible (hint: full of happiness). I work because I love what I do and it’s rewarding (work for the credit union industry).

And I blog because I love to make people smile.

In that dark lonesome place between a dream dreamed and a dream realized,

I have left a little light for you so you will know that someone cares and believes in your dream.

I just love your post today!
Its like reaching out a hand out to others…letting them know you are there for them.
That in showing you were once there but have moved forward, you still are thinking of others who are there in the dark. Beautifully put!

Giovanna Garcia says: 11 February 2009 - 9:46 pm

Hi Giovanna,

Thanks for this inspiring post on why you blog. I’ll have to decide on my ‘why’ too since I started because I wanted to learn about blogging, and I’m not sure what the next step is!

Giovanna Garcia says: 12 February 2009 - 10:47 pm

Hi Daphne

That is awesome, you started because you wanted to learn how to blog, look how far you have gone.
Keep doing what you love :-)

The answer to why we do what we do should probably be the easiest one…but then again, thinking about it made me realize not so much :D I guess it’s because of that feeling of rush and satisfaction that can erase any worry and, at the same time, inspire or help someone else. For the same feeling that encourages me and gives me the strenght to stick to what I love no matter what.
I’m still finding my way, ‘travelling’ from one place to another…so thank you for setting that light for me too.

Giovanna Garcia says: 13 February 2009 - 7:12 pm

Hi Stella

Keep doing what you are passionate about, and you can’t go wrong with that :-)
Life is a journey travelling is just a part of it. There will always be a light on for you here.
