What is your “why” for your life?
Or how is it possible for people to succeed when all of the odds are completely against them? Or how is it possible for people to stand out amongst many?
Many of these answers are wrapped up in the book known as Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone To Take Action by Simon Sinek. This inspiring read captures what separates great leaders, great ideas, and great companies from rest of the world.
It’s a compelling book that will inspire you to tap into your “why,” that will inspire you to become a great leader; and that will amaze you on how many inspiring leaders were able to create positive change that has continued to generate throughout the world and many generations.
While analyzing and reading about and studying those who society considers to have greatly impacted society, author Sinek realized that they all thought, acted, and communicated in the same-way. And this same theory goes for all of those we consider to be great leaders now, like like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers. The theory? They all started with why.

To inspire change, to improve something, and to accomplish anything in life, a person must first identity what his or her “why” is and then, draw people to that “why.” Because usually, a person’s “why” draws closer to the heart and to emotions that every single human being can feel and connect to.
So whenever you feel compelled to start something or to do something greater than you can imagine or greater than you thought possible, first identify with your “why.” When you go after something larger than you and you identify your “why,” anything is possible. Suddenly, the resources you need, the people you need, and the anything that you need will somehow enter your path so that you can create the positive impact that you wish to generate throughout our society.
And as author Sinek has indicated, all you have to do… is start with your “why.”
Happy reading!!
