Driven or Drifting? Your Why Decides
You ever stop and think, why you are where you are, doing what you’re doing, or even with who you’re with?
that simple question—knowing your why—might just be the biggest game changer for how you see yourself and the choices you make.
Think of it like driving a car. If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll just keep turning without ever arriving. Same with life. Your why is your GPS—it keeps you on track when things get messy.
Everything we do has a reason behind it. Maybe you’re working hard at your job because you want financial freedom. Or maybe you’re in a relationship because you truly love the person—or because you’re afraid of being alone. See the difference? One motive pushes you forward; the other might hold you back.
Pressure Can Mess With Your "Why" We live in a world full of noise. Social media tells us to hustle 24/7. Family expects certain things from us. Friends seem to have it all figured out. And in the middle of all that, it’s easy to lose sight of our own reasons.
That pressure can sneak into our motives without us noticing.
We seen someone start a business, then give up after a few months? Or a guy who jumps into a career just for the money, then burns out? A lot of times, it’s because their why wasn’t strong enough—or worse, it wasn’t theirs. They were following someone else’s script.
A strong why is like an anchor in a storm. When doubts swirl and challenges come knocking, your why steadies you, gives you hope, and helps you keep going. Without it, you’re just drifting, and man, drifting feels like failing.
If you’re studying medicine because you genuinely want to help people, those late-night study sessions feel worth it. But if you’re only doing it because your parents said so? One tough exam, and you’ll question everything.
So here’s my challenge for you: Ask yourself why at every step. Why am I in this job? Why am I in this relationship? Why do I want this goal? If the answer feels weak or unclear, maybe it’s time to rethink things. Because when you know your why, you’ll make better choices, push through hard times, and—most importantly—live a life that truly feels like yours.
Live a life that's truly like yours
