Remember That Money Is A Useful Tool But God Is Our Source.
Put God First, Follow His Lead, Fulfill Your Purpose And The Money Will Follow.
Knowing How And Why Is Important
It's important to know what to do in life concerning what career you should pursue, what kind of hobbies you enjoy that support your vision and just about every area of life however knowing why give wings to your dreams to becoming a more reachable reality. Knowing how and why are both important but knowing why is key. This may sound quite elementary however please read this all the way through for a better understanding.
Understanding your goals (the why) is more important than just having goals, (the what).
It's important to have the goal but it's far more important to know why you have that goal.
It's like the old parable, "give a man a fish and he'll eat today, teach a man to fish and he'll eat every day. Giving is very good however teaching how and why is best because it empowers you to be able to not only know what to do but creates options that were not obtainable before.
Knowing what to do is like copying and pasting. It's important to know what to do and it can be learned rather quickly. Knowing how and why is the breakthrough point, it requires more research, it requires creativity which encourages you to use your creative abilities for your unique niche that will set you up for success. Knowing what to do, how to do it and why to do it is like taking something apart and putting it back together with ease and being able to explain your actions.
For example, let's say you want to make more money online with your own unique business or you want to be an affiliate marketer for another business (copy and paste) and it is something you know you can do. The question is, is it your passion? If it's not your passion you may only be committed for a season or less.
It's great to know what you want to do, now you must know how to get that business off the ground and don't forget why you want to do it. And it's not just to make more money (you are better than that) but it should be that you desire to look for new ways on how you can expand your efforts so that your money someday will be working for you. Again the question "why" is far more important than how. How is a recipe you follow to get a certain result. To know how is practical and gives you kudos for the experience.
To know why on the other hand, gives you the ability to recreate your own "HOW." Why leads you to deeper hidden truths that "how" by itself wouldn't know. Why gives you the true creative power, showing you things in a different light, from a different angle, from a different point of view. How is one track minded because that's just the way it's done, that's how we always have done it. While why sees both sides of the fence and can see ways to improve. Why is clearly focused on the very best way or ways.
In short, how is knowledge and why is using wisdom.
Now don't get me wrong if the shoe fits wear it and we don't want to try to reinvent the wheel (if it's working outstandingly well) however there are things yet to be discovered and they will be revealed by someone's determined, persistent questions, "how and why!" Someone using wisdom will figure out how to safely jump to light speed or will figure out how to balance the national budget. It will take someone who is open-minded and someone who steps outside of their comfort zone regularly. Someone who understands that everyone is fallible and by knowing that, taking the time to learn from their own mistakes and others not to misuse or put down others but to empower, to inspire others. Someone who remains humble and is willing to listen to others who are wiser and using discernment to determine this.
The way to find your niche is to cover all the bases with what you like to do, how to do it and why you want to do it and again it's not just so you can make more money, (again you are better than that).
You should always have another reason why because with only the reason to make more money, you will not reach your greatest potential.
Besides, you may have heard from the bible the love of money is the root of all evil. (2 Timothy 6:10)
This verse is the most misquoted verse in the bible. People often quote it this way, “money is the root of all evil," which is not what it says at all. It says the love of money [usually motivated by jealousy or greed, or both] is the root to all evil. The love of it (money) is focused on the self. Focusing on self brings many snares because the purpose of gain is totally self-centered which is not balanced. The purpose of gaining is to have more than enough for yourself so you can give. So you can help others. Now we know why it is the root of all evil. (This is when the light comes on and things can change for the better). This is why I say you are (or can be) better than that because we now have a clearer perspective to know the reason why we should not love money but love God and HIS creations.
NOW with a better understanding, let's say this out loud, "the love of God and the love of helping people succeed in life is the root of all joy." Is this true? Yes indeed! The bible doesn't say this word for word but in many ways, it does say to love and help others many times. "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." (Luke 6:38)
He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again, (Proverbs 19:17). - In short, when we help the poor, God will help us - A person can be poor on many levels. One who doesn't have enough whatever food, water, clothing, housing, money, etc. even wisdom can be viewed as someone who is poor. A wealthy person who doesn't know what to do with their wealth is a poor man with resources, poor in wisdom. Another person who has a grand idea but if they lack the resources to get that idea off the ground, they are poor from a certain point of view, poor in resources. That's where people can come in and help one another. God originally wanted people to help one another from the start. "The liberal soul (or generous person) shall be made fat: (or will be prosperous) and he that watereth shall be watered also himself." (Proverbs 11:25)
The point is whatever you treasure doing the most, that is where your heart is. If your heart is in sharing and helping others, you will be helped. God wants our heart focused on him (GOD IS LOVE) and by doing so he will lead us to help others which will cause us to be prosperous. If loving others and helping people succeed is one of the things you treasure, God can make you wealthy (only if you want) because your heart is balanced, it's not rooted in self. Once we have the why, the noble reasoning in full assurance that our intention to become prosperous is rooted mainly to help others to also become prosperous, our dreams are closer than we think. God will see to it. I know I didn't say this before but I couldn't resist plugging this biblical truth in here. It will help many people on so many levels when we understand these truths.
Now...
Ask yourself, "What gives me the most joy in life?
TAKE YOUR TIME AND THINK ABOUT THAT...
Do I enjoy helping others?
Do I see the value in helping others?
Can I find a way to better my efforts helping others?
Do I believe and truly understand that I will constantly get in return what I constantly give out?
Do I have the desire to better my efforts so that my unique niche is brilliant and original?"
Knowing how and having the passion (the reason why) is the true power to create wealth.
In grade school, middle school and high school you and I were taught the how and what mainly in general studies but the why is taught in college, trade school and additional classes unless you enjoy thinking outside of the box, getting out of your comfort zone and taking risks with great enthusiasm.
Not everyone needs to go to college to reach their goal. When you have the why, the how and the what, you can find many self-made millionaires without a college degree and some self-made billionaires who dropped out of school or college after they found their why, what and how while in class.

I am in no way saying to not go to college, far from it. I am saying when you know the what, the how and most importantly why your goals are very possible to be reached. All of the names listed above went to school and or college and some were at some time in class, they were enlightened, the light came on, they took a risk, they believed in themselves and their dreams and had a goal, ignored the naysayers, worked hard and moved forward. They knew what, how and most importantly the why and took off running. In most cases, they had great opposition, with little or no support but that didn't stop them. They had the passion (the why), the reason and ran with it with great enthusiasm and made history!
Now if you desire to become a doctor, a lawyer and such, you need to finish college period in order to find work. That's a no-brainer. Would you let someone open you up to repair something who finished high school and dropped out of medical school? Of course not! Embrace your why, more than finding out how, then when you know why, find out how to get the best results with what you plan to become in life.
"People who know why they are doing something inevitably outperform
those who know how; people who know how usually work for people who know why."
- Peter Hirsch
It's best to have a goal and to know why you have that goal which supports all of the hobbies, jobs, and activities which will give fuel your dreams. For example, a person who signs up to be a fireman for 5 years and then a store salesperson for 5 years and then a video game salesperson for 5 years and then desire to pursue to be a home care aid, has a goal but needs better direction. The only common denominator in that example is this person desires to be in customer service. So their goal, their focus is people driven. They are a person who enjoys helping people. This also is a person who goes by the TAG, a person who wears many hats. Being adaptable is always a great quality to have. Adaptable people see opportunity when others see failure. Adaptable people don't whine and complain or point and blame things on others. Adaptable people love to learn something new. They are good followers destined to become great leaders.
Here's the best way to look at this with a better example. Let's say a person who desires to become an optician and succeeds within 1- 2 years and then desires to become an optometrist and becomes one in 4 years and then desires to be an owner of an optical store in 10 years and in the future have plans to have their own optical lab within 10 -15 years. This person's reason (why) doing what they do is driven by one main field and all these positions require helping people see better. This person is very stable in their reasons why. Again knowing why is the power. If you're going to dream, why dream small?
It is so very important to see yourself there before you are there. It's ok to start small but make sure you dream BIG! Don't despise small beginnings because the small ant hill you are building now in time will have the potential to become a mountain. Never underestimate the hidden power within of how and why.
Believe in yourself and never doubt yourself again. Know your calling and pursue it with all your heart. Do what you desire to do with passion always. Nothing is impossible to those who believe.
See yourself there, know that your dreams matter!
When you know why you are more likely to stay committed to what and how. In fact, when you know the reason why and you are passionately pursuing your goals you will gain the how and what on purpose because your hunger will seek it out. What gives you the most joy? Helping people reach their highest potential? Knowing why it gives you the most joy is key! What do you need to do to make your dreams a reality? Knowing why is more important than knowing how alone. Knowing why grants you access to the power. People who run away from the why are running from the power. Don't run from it, run towards the why.
It's great to know what and how but is it your passion? When you know your purpose and run after your purpose with passion, you're on the right track.
So the purpose of this page is to encourage people to know your passion, your purpose. To know the reason why you do what you do and how you do it. It's important to stick to the reason "why" and realize that by holding on to the "why," you have more hope in reaching your goals in life. Everyone has a purpose in life and when you know your purpose and run after it with passion you will find joy. Find your purpose and pursue it with passion. Have a goal and know WHY you have that goal and remember to not hold back, give it all you got. This is what will give you the winning advantage in life to make a mark that cannot be erased.
We can't stress this enough, the goal is to know the reason why you have the passions that you have and to know what to do and how to do it will come in time. This will place you in a different bracket so you can have your own unique brand that cannot be easily copied. The goal is to be original just like a snowflake is original. A snowflake never has a duplicate, you and I are the same. We are all unique.
It's also important to take your time and choose other believers (in your goals) to hang around who support you or who are within the same common denominator as your dreams. They don't have to be in the same exact field but at least in the same common denominator such as a doctor who makes friends with a good counselor. They both desire to help people. That's a good connection. True they both have different pay rates yet they can relate and share on a social, mental and emotional level. Ultimately as long as you surround yourself with co-workers, friends, family, etc. who are supporting you, desiring to see you reach your highest potential (and not jealous) you're going to reach to the top. If you are surrounded by people who are jealous of you, don't wait, find new company because in time they will find ways to sabotage you, delay your efforts, holding you back to ultimately keep you from your highest potential.
Dream killers are real, so forgive them, don't hang around them and come to a place where you see your worth and embrace it. Seek out for others who support your dreams. Onward and upward is your destiny, you have a goal, stick with it and make a quality choice to hang with others who support your dreams.
Above all, your very best connection in life is being connected to your creator. God gave us our dreams. He's our greatest supporter in all existence. When you're connected to God, you can ask him to connect you with those who you should be connected to.
That's what's called using wisdom. To know your creator is the wisest form of knowledge on earth.
Ask God to place people into your life that were according to his original plan just for you. Also, Ask God to place you into peoples lives you should be connected to so you can help them. That's an irresistible prayer to God. God loves to answer prayers when one is seeking to be used by him and desiring to help others. People who desire to help other people succeed in life will experience the greatest joys of life!
So dream BIG, learn to adapt and take small steps every day but don't wait, ACT NOW!
Work and invest in your dreams! NEVER QUIT! WHY?
Billions are waiting for you to dream so you can encourage them to live theirs or celebrate with you.
Start small but dream big! Start NOW, not tomorrow!
Expect for good results!
