It's not about the "What," It's about the "Why!"

Everyone is "busy" ... Busy with our families, busy with our work, our businesses, & busy with our lives.
Yet some people just seem to be knocking it out of the park in everything they do while others seem like they are barely holding on.
What's the difference?
Sure, there is the financial angle we could discuss, the spiritual angle too,  or even the mental angle could come into question here.  But I want to take this in a different direction ...
When it comes to our daily routine in business and in life,
Everyone knows "what to do,"  but most people don't focus on "why" they are doing it.
...Once there were 3 bricklayers. Each one of them was asked what they were doing.
The first man answered gruffly,
"I'm laying bricks."
The second man replied,
"I'm putting up a wall."
But the third man said enthusiastically and with pride,
"I'm building a cathedral."


My question for you is this, what are you doing everyday?
Just "laying bricks," or are you "building" something incredible?
What ever role you play in life or business, people don't buy into people/companies that just know "what to do," they buy into people/businesses that know "why" they are doing it!
That's my "Take," what's yours?

Here is a great clip from Simon Sinek that hammers home this point.

You are powerful beyond measure!

...Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

That's my "Take," what's yours?
