How Urgent is your life?
The Necessity of an urgent Why
What would you do if someone opened your house door, ran quickly inside your house, grabbed your mother by her hands on the way out of the house into an automobile and ran away? Yes, they have kidnapped your mother! What would you actually do then?
I am sure that you won’t be wasting any minute letting the cops take all their time before attending your emergency.
you would probably do whatever it takes in order to return your mother safely to her home.
Now let’s change the scenario- change your mother of this story into your life’s dream or your life’s purpose and goals.
That’s it! your life is your emergency — treat it like you need to make a huge thing of it. Got it?
There is something great that I would like to do in my life said young Paul — That thing will make me laser focused on achieving my goals and milestones.
One time, when Pau was 12 years old, he and his mother were in the airport for the first time on our way to board on a flight to visit family overseas. At that time the only person that his mother could trust while not knowing a word in the foreign country was a 7th grader child, that’s Paul. At this point he had a bit of panic inside his gut until he got to the realisation, this is it, stopped doing anything and thinking, and said to himself- We need to do this, I need to take care of both of us and make sure that I ask everyone around all that we need to know in order to board that plane on time. In these days they didn’t have google or smartphones where you can see all your information with all the time that you have left until your flight is up in the air. Moments like this can replicate the exact moment of a pure sense of purpose, a point where one has set a goal to achieve and did everything it takes in order to board that plane.
To achieve greatness, all a person has to do with his life at the moment is to think the same way and change the scenario of the “Airport” into his life’s dream goals. Like no one else, Paul didn’t have a large family which he needed to take care of when he mostly grew up independently, neither children who he need to feed or send to school, and to be quite frank, there are no real serious circumstances that need his attention in order to do something extraordinary about it. The fact is, Paul is a 29-Year-old human being that acquired some tough business and people skills so he could win in any situation that he was put against.
At one time, there was a company who hired him to for work where he can use his gift of the gab and help them with sales. So he did all that it took in order to be the best in the company and made the most of the sales possible so he could take care of himself and buy some things he likes. At some later stage following the workforce path, he also wanted to achieve another great spot by earning just enough to be able to support himself by doing something different, which led him afterwards to hunt a job in the advertising industry and then did whatever it took in order to be just enough satisfied to get what he wanted there. Paul added serious portions of hard working hours and sometimes even worked on the weekends in order to just do that- Satisfy and support himself.
These days, Paul is more curious and more self-aware of what he can achieve and also to what he can develop. The most interesting part of it is, that he can think for himself and of course he can ask for more, and as a result to also do bigger things in his life.
People in the world like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs had big Why’s in their life, and they are doing things that are making and made them satisfied while having a great impact on humanity. Other people do what they love by doing different things that help others in different ways by enjoying their process, but if they don’t, they simply change their path.
