The Secret Question Only You Can Answer
Kevin Gianni
We all want to feel good. Actually, scratch that. We all want to feel awesome... all the time. We want vibrant health, vibrant thoughts, vibrant ideas, vibrant relationships and hundreds of other fantastic things. It doesn't make sense for anyone to want to feel bad or hurt or angry. But we do feel bad. We wallow, we stress, we yell... and, yes, we definitely stress. Many of us feel bad all the time. Why? Just a few days ago I was asked an incredible question. It's a question that many people struggle with and sadly many may never answer it in their time on this planet. Not being able to answer this question is like having a name on the tip of your tongue and not being able to remember it--but on a much, much higher cosmic level. I'm guessing you want to know what the question was, right? The question was this: "Kevin, why do you do what you do?" Pretty big question right? Fortunately, to save myself a whole lot of embarrassment, I was prepared for this one. I've been prepared for a while now. I think about the answer to it every day of my life. It's actually what drives me everyday to do something different and better and reach out to more people with the message that I have. If you ask yourself that same question now... "(INSERT YOUR NAME), why do you do what you do?" Do you know the answer? Maybe you do and that drives you too. And maybe you don't and that's OK as well. It took me a "few" years to get mine, that's for sure. What I'm getting at is this... You have choices in life. (I sound like my mother!) You can do the things that are in alignment with you goals... or you can do the things that aren't. Have you ever hated your job, where you are at a particular time, you workout program or the diet you're on? I know I used to. Well, what if I told you that chances are it's not right for you? Maybe it's not lined up with your higher purpose. If you're higher purpose is not defined clearly, there's no reason for you to enjoy any of those things and stick to a plan. So what's the point? In the fitness and health world it's easy to explain... Why should a woman who's higher purpose is to be a fantastic mother have the same workout plan as an Olympic soccer player? This workout plan is not for her. It's for the soccer player and the soccer player only. Why should you work on a career path that puts you in a certain industry when all you want to do is paint in a cottage in the Swiss Alps? If the plan is not for you, the results won't be for you either. So, what's your higher purpose? If you find it, you might also find that things fall into place and—even better—many things like changes in your health and sanity are an added benefit of getting to where you want to go. Not the end result. Pretty interesting concept. Could the information that you're getting from 100's and 1000's of sources about success and truth and what to do to be happy and vibrant be wrong? Is it OK to only do things that (1) you like to do and (2) that are in alignment with your higher purpose? Hmmm. I'll let you decide about that.
