It is crucial to ask yourself – “Why do I want to achieve my dreams?” . The power of a strong why in achieving your dream is undeniable. Having strong reasons will fuel your dreams, providing the necessary drive and endurance. They will pull you through when normally you would probably give up and abandon your dream at the first sign of resistance. Weak reasons often lead to giving up too easily when challenges arise.
You can’t rely on motivation
Fueling your dreams can be a constant challenge if your reasons ‘why’ aren’t compelling enough. Unlike motivation, which fluctuates, strong reasons provide a steady source of determination. Relying on motivation alone means you’re at the mercy of your fluctuating feelings, which can lead to struggles in achieving what you want.
Your Dreams Matter
Remember your dreams matter. Reflect on why they are important to you. What would achieving them mean in your life? The stronger your reasons, the more likely you are to overcome obstacles and stay committed. So it’s worth getting clear on this because these reasons serve as your personal motivators. They will keep you focused and on track, regardless of the challenges you encounter.
Your guide and compass
When your reasons are clear and meaningful, they function like a compass, guiding you through the highs and lows of pursuing your dreams. Jim Rohn, a notable motivational speaker, once said,
“Reasons come first, answers second.”

This means that once you get clear on your reasons, only then can they lead to discovering the answers and strategies needed for success. This clarity and sense of purpose can reveal opportunities and strategies you might have otherwise overlooked.
Reflecting on your Dreams in Midlife
In midlife, understanding why you want to achieve your dreams is especially crucial, because pursuing dreams in Midlife can be more challenging. Take the time to reflect deeply on your motivations and desired outcomes. Asking yourself questions like “Am I doing the right thing?” and “Does this feel right?” can reaffirm your commitment and clarify your path.
Connect to your reasons
By connecting with your reasons, you can transform the thought “I should do this” into “I want to do this.” This will shift you from relying on fleeting motivation to fostering consistent commitment, driven by your meaningful reasons. This will significantly enhance your chances of success.
On countless occasions I have felt like throwing in the towel. However it is my reason and my purpose for why I’m here, that has kept me firmly focused. It has made me determined to achieve my dream goal. Which scares me and excites me at the same time. I have never felt like this about something before.
Having a strong why has definitely helped me stick to my path, even when sometimes it feels like I’m not making much progress.
