On The Way Of Finding MY Why
‘Why’ makes me find my ‘how’ and gives me an idea today to write a book .
Sometimes we need to talk ,walk and act like big leaders. A word can’t be detached from the dictionary of a true leader, and the word is: why.
I’m more than sure that you don’t know me. Let me share with you a tiny part about me and my wife that we are Sinek fans.
I’m talking about definitely none other than Simon Sinek.
Hope you at least know who Sinek is.
You know Sinek then you know the value of ‘why’ in human life.
I have read Sinek’s bestseller book called “Find Your Why”.
Disclaimer:
This story is nothing to do with Sinek’s book.
When you have a pen and a paper, you can write like a pro writer or max-pro writer. I have written a disclaimer in the middle of the story. Sometimes I eat desserts in the middle of the meal and at the end I have soup. It’s called freedom of metaphysical mind. Now the question is : what is metaphysics even I don’t know.
A short story about metaphysical poet John Donne. I heard it from my English Professor who was assigned to teach us metaphysical poetry.
Once Donne was sitting with his wife on a bed. A mosquito was buzzing around and annoying his wife. She tried to kill the mosquito. He stopped her and told if she killed the mosquito she would be committed three great sins. She liked to know the reason. Donne said, “Mosquito has sucked my blood, it’s me, if you kill it, you will kill me, It has sucked your blood, it’s you, if you kill it, you kill yourself, lastly your blood and my blood mixed in its body, it’s like a marriage, and marriage happens in a church, so if you kill it you will destroy a church”.
I never read this anywhere but found it catchy still after a long time this story popped up from my brain. Maybe it’s catchy for you too. My professor hooked the attention of the students with this Donne story. Hooking your audience is a tough challenge for you as a content creator.
Coming back to my ‘why’ story. There is a woman behind every successful man. There is a ‘why’ behind every success story. Hence, this story is all about why’s. At the beginning of the new year, I tried to find my ‘why’.
First I need to learn the art and science of how to find my ‘why’, I need to learn all the nuts and bolts to bring about changes in my life based on my ‘why’. But still, I am not able to figure out from where I will bring my ‘why’.
Maybe I have to learn first ‘how’ and then ‘why’. But I haven’t read any books about the importance of ‘how’ in our life.
Hence an idea popped up from blunt head. The idea is to write a book with the title “How To Find Your Why”.
It seems that my ‘why’ is hidden under my unpublished book. Here I sound like a writer, what I’m not. My ‘why’ has been discovered during crafting this story. And wish one day you will love to read my book.
Thank you for reading.
