Understanding my ‘why’
January 21, 2020
Am I ‘interested’ or am I ‘committed’?
This is a really powerful question to ask ourselves when we’re setting a goal.
If your goal is something that you’re interested in, you will do what is convenient, what’s easy, what everyone does.
But if you’re committed, you will achieve whatever goals you want to achieve no matter what because you’ll do anything that it takes to get there!
By asking yourself this question it will help to tap into the emotion behind why we want to achieve that goal. Why we have a desire to own our own home.
Everything that we do is linked to an emotion – so when it comes to owning your own home, do you know the feeling that you’re trying to achieve?
Connecting with the reason why this is so important to you will help you understand your motivation behind it and strengthen that feeling of commitment to your goals.
Please download the “Understanding my ‘why’” exercise below to help identify why you are committed to achieving your home ownership goal.
