Why Do You Do What You Do?

Here’s a very important question to ask yourself: “What the heck am I doing here?”

You heard me correctly. It is perfectly acceptable – even healthy – to ask that question. It just depends on your tone and your intention.

You see, you can ask that with a sneer and a snide attitude and it becomes your own personal pity party. But change the tone and the context and it becomes one of the most important questions ever.

Think about asking the question “What the heck am I doing here?” from a perspective of intense introspection and curiosity. How would that approach change both the tone and the meaning?

The fact is that we should always be challenging our own motives and actions. As a means of staying connected to a purpose and a vision the question forces a deep look at our motives. It also gives us a guidance gut check.

Now take the answer and turn it into a mission statement.

“What the heck am I doing here? I am here to change people’s lives by connecting, understanding, and advancing this sale to the farthest possible target.”

So let me ask you – what the heck are you doing here?????
