Why Do You Get Out Of Bed In The Morning?

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been writing broadly around the themes of each of the modules of our new course, Switch, that we’re launching in December.

The first post looked at the ‘present’, where we explored whether a given problem in front of you was the ACTUAL problem, or merely a symptom of something else.

We followed that by exploring the ‘past’ and reframing failure to help learn for future success.

Last week, we took a playful look at the ‘future’ by sharing 15 of our favourite movies that show you can have a brighter future, even when faced with adversity.

This week, we’re going to dive into ‘the why’, by exploring something called ‘Ikigai’.

Want to know one of the secrets to success? It’s probably not what you think it is…

Today’s post is about how to be supremely successful whatever you’re doing in the world.

But it’s not a cheat list that tells you how to exercise, eat & sleep well, or have a failsafe routine etc.

It’s about failing.

Are You Trying to Fix The Right Problem?

Think about anything that you want to change in your life. Almost always it is a problem that you are trying to fix.

The issue though is that most people approach change half-cocked. They are reacting to some pain or discomfort that they want to get away from it. This will only get you so far.

So, could it be that our solutions are not always the best ones? Perhaps because we are not trying to fix the right problem.

"Don't bother; you'll never be good enough". " Why even bother? You are going to fail". "You're stupid. Why would anyone ever listen to you?".

The Power of WHY

It's our first anniversary! On October 25th, 2016, we launched our first blog post and a lot has happened since then!

Coming up to our birthday, we took the time to reconnect with our WHY and to review our achievements and we think this is a useful exercise for you to do wherever you are with your projects and passions.

It will undoubtedly reconnect you with your passion, give you clarity and propel you forward in your pursuits...it most certainly did for us.
