In this episode I'm going to get on my soap box for a bit and talk about your WHY. When life shows up is your WHY big enough and strong enough to carry you through the storm?

I know many years ago when I first learned about the power behind having a strong WHY in my life. Why I get up and do what I do. My WHY was always around my daughter and how she drowned. What I wanted to do about it.

With that being said it still wasn't BIG enough or STRONG enough to carry me through. I had always developed my WHY to speak to others. It was always about an outcome I wanted in my life. Wishing that people would feel what I was feeling to follow our mission. This never happens.

They will not feel what you feel. They will feel sorry but not get on board with what your about.

I believe that this is the wrong way to look at your WHY. Your WHY should be personal to you, it is from the inside out. It doesn't really speak to anyone but you. It is who you are, what you want to become.

I find what works best is to work it backwards. You know the outcome that you want to get, or the transformation that you wish to take place. Your WHY ls many layers deeper than what you really think.

In order to find it you may be required to go deep into feelings that you have buried deep down inside for a long time.

Fo example my goal is to reduce drowning by 50% by the year 2028 that is a reduction of 2,000 lives saved here in the U.S. and over 180,000 lives saved worldwide every year. But in order to accomplish that goal I have to understand what drives me. That is what is in my head and heart. First off for many years the world told me I wasn't Good Enough, I wasn't Worthy, or even Smart Enough, so I believed all that and blamed my life and all the crap on my daughters drowning. The war I wage is with myself to prove to me that I'm not all those things that the world said I was.

The other part is that when my life is over. I do not want anything unfinished. When I stand there with my daughter, she says Daddy you did a great job. And then my GOD looks and says Job Well Done Faithful Servant. I left it all on the field or should I say in this world I can't take it with me. It is my Legacy. Listen in this episode where I talk about what Legacy means to me .

This is what makes me get up in the morning at 4 am and walk to put in 5 miles before the rest of the world gets their day started. Only a few people can understand this, what's in me, the driving force. But most wish they could do that or find that inside of themselves.

I just made the decision to change my life, to create this lifestyle that will bring about change. To have that push me to change the world and reach millions upon millions of people with our message to make the impact in other people lives. In the end reaching and exceeding our goal.

By focusing on my WHY this attracts what I want in my life and not to mention the people in my life to make our goal a reality. I can't do it alone.
