You may wonder what am i talking about but let me assure you that when you discover this power within you, yes i do mean each and everyone of us has this power, it is just a matter of discovering and unleashing it to its fullest potential.
First let me show you my why
You may wonder this is just a normal family photo so why am i talking about this.
Let me share with you my story
I am from a middle class family with my dad working as a clerk and my mum as a housewife initially. However, due to the heavy financial burden of the family, my mum have to come out to work and have been doing so for as long as i can remember ever since we learned how to take care of our basic needs.
Lunch during school days was warming up pre-cooked food in the rice cooker and dinner was only served around 8 or 9 pm after my mum come home from her work. Her work was not that easy, being the coffee stall assistant who has to work about 12 hrs a day and shifting and rearranging heavy crates of beer to help to support the family.
Our financial conditions worsen as my dad lost his job as a clerk in the company that he has been working for many years. During the time of his unemployment, my mum became the sole breadwinner of the family and we really have to save and not spend unnecessarily in school and avoid all main forms of luxury goods for children such as video games, computer, action toy figurines, etc...
Although we didn't have all the luxury, we grew up fine on the income that my mum had and also from my dad income working as a chinese physician (the equivalent of a doctor practising alternative medicine). I am very grateful to my family for bringing me up the way i am and also for providing for my education all the way to my honours degree.
Therefore, upon me and my brothers' graduation, i arrange to take a family protrait together. This photo is a victory and it shows that with determination and hard work, we CAN and will have a better future for us and our loved ones.
So this is my WHY and the motivation and driving force behind me that will drive me on to do and give the best i can for my family. Do you have a similar or more compelling WHY? Finding that is the source of your power!
Think about your WHY right now if you have no idea right now what it is. Speculate and make a guess, there do not need to be a 'correct answer'. Just know that a powerful WHY is definitely a must to be highly successful.
