Day 63 – “WHAT DRIVES YOU?”  

Welcome to a day that has a potential to bring change in your life. Remember to read this message out loud and read only this message for the day. You inspire for you to be inspired.

Remember: #ItsPossibleBecauseItsDoable

 We all yearn to discover our purpose in life, to find that one thing that brings us fulfilment and drives us towards success. It may be different for each of us, but the drive and determination are universal. I, too, was on a quest and when I found what I was looking for, I clung to it with all my might. I guarded it and lived my life with intention, knowing that the world was watching. My purpose ignited a fire within me, giving my life a deeper meaning and pushing me forward with determination. Like a fish in the vast ocean, I felt safe and full of energy. Each morning, I rose with ease, knowing why, where, when, and how I was going to achieve my goals. I was fuelled by the thought of success and driven to cross the finish line, never wanting to taste the bitter flavour of failure. In my mind, I saw myself as the first and most respected Career Coach and Educational Motivational Speaker, not just in my country, but in Africa and the entire world.

What ignites your passion each morning? What empowers you to break free from your obstacles? What fuels you to keep pushing forward tirelessly? What keeps you awake with determination and drive? What gives you a purpose to live and to never give up? I remember when I first started selling airtime and snacks on campus. It was a challenging journey. People knew of me, but not my true potential. I was mocked when I shouted for customers, and no one took me seriously. But I had a fire burning within me. Poverty, a difficult upbringing, financial struggles, and the desire to fit in were all driving forces behind my determination. No one could discourage me, no one could understand what I was going through. And that fuel only made me work harder and never give up. Let your hardships be your motivation, your struggles be your strength, and your dreams be your driving force.

What is it that will push you through this year with determination and strength? Is it the love of your family, the opportunities in your life, the pursuit of knowledge, overcoming poverty, finding and sharing love, raising your children, the pursuit of wealth, helping others, showcasing your talents, your job or business, chasing your dreams, making a difference, bringing harmony, spreading joy? Discover your “WHY” and all will fall into place. As I have found mine, I continue to search for it every single day. Once you unveil your driving force, you will take control of your life and not let life control you. When you uncover your ultimate purpose, you will no longer need a reason to have a reason. When you know why you exist, you will live without pretence. When you discover your reason for waking up each morning, your life will be filled with endless happiness.

Plan of Action:

1. Reflect on your past experiences and struggles, and identify what has consistently given you the determination and drive to overcome obstacles. 

2. Brainstorm and make a list of different potential driving forces in your life, such as family, personal goals, passions, and values. 

3. Take time to truly understand and dig deeper into each of the potential driving forces you have identified. 

4. Consider seeking guidance or support from a mentor, coach, or loved one to help you clarify and uncover your ultimate purpose. 

5. Once you have identified your “why”, use it as a compass to guide your decisions and actions towards fulfillment and success in all areas of your life. 

6. Continuously revisit and reassess your “why” to ensure that it remains relevant and meaningful in your life.
