What? Why? How?
People ask you these questions at any stage you are in life. Not only that, just as you progress in life, you also start asking these questions to yourself because now the pressure of having a settled life starts disturbing you. Life is making sense to you and you, indeed, want to make every effort so that you could achieve where you envision yourself. After all, everyone on this globe has to seek something substantial so that the cause of their presence could be served. And these three Wh’s helps you address that.
The goal of life might not seem clear to each and everyone who wants to make their mark in this world at a given point in time. At first, it might seem vague or even blurred. But the three Wh’s of our lives help us streamline and ultimately execute the real motive of our existence. I believe the vastness of everything that makes life meaningful would be included in them. While none of them outweighs or underweights the others, I believe these three Wh’s have their own significance in different stages of life.
So, let’s have a look at each of them one by one:
The “What?”
This WH defines the initial phase of life. It stands important when we wish to decide where to set foot in this journey of life to begin doing what we desire to do. We all want to do something in our lives to prove our worth. Also, it's highly important to leave a stable path for our coming generations, the society has made us think like that & function so.
Talking about the natural way in which things appeal to us, it is unquestionably true that each of us wants something in life. It could be a specific industry we want to grow in, a place we wish to belong, or a hobby we’d like to pursue; no one is born without a desire. Now, this desired goal in life drives us to the heights of our passion because we want to be a part of it so devotedly that nothing seems to prove itself big enough to interfere our way. Something is always there that we are headstrong in working for. But What is it? Take out time, have a slight pause, do your research, live the practicality, and answer this important life query. It somewhere decides your whole future. Once we know what we want ultimately, we are meant to stay clear-headed thereafter and work fervently to achieve that intended vision.
The “Why?”
Moving on to the next stage, “Why?” acts as a catalyst for your vision and its fulfillment. Doesn’t matter what you want to become in life, once you’re clear enough with the reason that drives you into doing something passionately, your will to work for it tirelessly is strengthened.
It is not about you wanting to achieve something in life. It is more about how much you’re wanting to achieve what you put your mind to. The reasons to back your willingness come out from why you want to attain what you want to attain. Now, this factor will help determine how fast you get there and how much passion & hard work you naturally feel like putting into your growth journey. The harder you feel for something in life, (may it be your career, self-development, your vision, or your dreams), the better you work for it and the faster you get to it. So always have a reason as to why you’re doing anything in life. And when the reason feels good enough and worthy, no matter what others might think, go ahead and don’t look back till you excel in it.
The “How?”
This WH occurs in the final stages before you begin doing what you've always wanted to do. When starting something new, you must have a plan. And, when planning something, you must have a complete framework. This framework will enable you to consider all possible approaches to any task. It will also help you feel confident and aware of how to achieve what you want.
Furthermore, once you have everything planned out and documented with a timeline, you will know exactly how to approach your goal. Having a bigger picture is an important characteristic of a leader, and if you have one, you will undoubtedly know how to make it all work. As a result, the question "How?" will be answered in your life and you will feel empowered and self-motivated within yourself.
So, nothing is impossible in life. You just need to acknowledge what you feel or think, it makes things easier to excel. Therefore, by addressing the questions above, you answer the doubts in life that make you feel confused or clouded. But by answering the basic Wh’s, you can clear your way to success.
