Remembering the Why is Key to Success
I BRING GOOD NEWS - TO OVERCOME THE BAD
I hate to start this off on a down note but for most people who start in WA begin to quit when the problems overwhelm them.
It is in the times of struggling through something you have to remind yourself of the "Why" that you are here.
Why Are You Here?
You might say "I'm here to make money". I tell myself that a lot of times but that is only a surface why. Yes I want to make money but that is not the real or the only reason that I am here.
Money is good, at least it can be used for good. But when you have put your heart and soul into something and it is not producing the money you hoped for what do you do? Give up.
It takes time to build a successful site that keep you happy with the money you earn so why are you here besides the money.
You have to find your reason for being Here.
- Some people love to write and share with others.
- Some like to sell products that they believe in, thereby helping others.
- Some, like me, want to make a difference in the life of others who struggle.
- Some, want to make a better life for themselves and their families.
- Some are following a dream that they had all their life and some are learning to build a new dream.
The truth is that your real reason is found in your passion. That is why all the initial training encourages you to find your passion. Your passion will pull you through the obstacles.
You have to find the real why that you want to be here.
The why (passion) is what keeps you moving ahead in spite of the obstacles you face.
Why kind of obstacles do we face?
- Distractions - You have a plan but something gets in the way.
- Time - Yes we all have 24 hours in a day but if you have other commitments they take time away from building your dream project.
- Bad days - We all have those days that you don't feel good or you don't feel like putting in effort to build something that you might not see the results immediately.
- Brain Freeze - When you want to write but your brain is out of gear or off wondering about something completely irrelevant.
- Tired - We all get tired eventually and if we don't take time to rejuvenate ourselves we will feel worn out and ready to give it up.
Those are just some obstacles I have faced.
I am sure you have many more to add to the list.
But this is a list you don't have to keep track of just know obstacles come to us all.
The Good News
Why did Thomas Edison keep trying to invent the light bulb even after he failed so many times? He was tired of the dark. His inventive spirit loved to work even after the sun went down. He saw a problem and wanted to solve it even if it took a thousand tries. He knew it would benefit all mankind as well. That was a bonus.
Inventing was Thomas Edison's passion. His passion drove him to find a way to bring light to his world.
Find your passion.
When you struggle remind yourself why you are putting in all the time working on this dream of yours to make a better way for your life and the life of others around you.

Hi, Raymond!
Exactly, Why, is the reason we are very busy doing everything we can to improve our own website and our ranking within the WA community. It is not for anything else but for deeper and compelling reasons.
Some of us found the meaning of life through resurrecting our lost hope for our dreams. For this reason, alone we should be energized each day to keep going.
The secret of making it so is to see it as a place fo self-fulfillment and a source of joy for the hope we once have thrown out of the window now we came out and picked them all again because we found the map to go back to the driving seat and start driving towards it, so to speak!
Thanks to Wealthy Affiliate. That is why It is not an accident we all meet together here in this wonderful virtual community. We are like birds of the same feather flock together! Have a great week, my friend.

Hi Ray, great encouraging post. Giving up is not an option if you are passionate and determined to be successful.
For some like me, it does take time to see the money rolling in, yet I have seen many who have achieved monetary gains in far less time.
Never give up.
All the best,
Michael
