The Why is more important than the How!

I have decided to move away from the formal articles and write my thoughts and ideas with a lighter pen . This does not mean my thoughts will be random; they are a product of my years of experience working as a fitness professional.
All of us have wellness goals but only a few of us achieve them. The how is actually easy! Do you want cleaner lungs: Stop smoking! Do you want to lose weight: Eat less and move more!
The how is simple in theory. The question is thus: Why is it so hard to follow through to our goals? I believe the answer holds in our "WHY". Your why is your purpose; it is the force driving you to achieve whatever goal you have in front of you. It is your fuel! Not having a strong enough why is like trying to drive cross country with half a tank of gas. You will be drained and you will come up short.
Next time you decide on a goal, I encourage you to consider it deeply and find your strongest why. Find that source of passion and energy that will sustain you and push you forward ever closer to your goals.
