It is in finding your ‘why’ that gives you an important ingredient to motivating you to do the best work that you are able to.   It is your ‘why’ that will give you the grit to just keep striving even when you do not feel like it.  Your ‘why’ is fuel.  Your ‘why’ is the bigger picture too.  

The roots to Branching Out is my want for young people to simply like who they are.  No comparisons, no thinking less of  themselves, no diminishing of what they are so capable of.  

So, below is my list of some of my ‘why’s’:

I want for you to feel contentment in your work life.

I want for you to feel assured that you are capable and able and that you are able to just keep going.  There is always a way.

I want for you to know that you can connect with others.

I want for you to feel deep satisfaction because you are giving of your best.  I want for you to take courageous action, even when you do not ‘feel’ like it.

I want you to know that what you bring to the work place and to your friendships is valuable.

I want you to be able to engage authentically, feeling self assured and optimistic.  I want for you to be in good health and in good heart.

I want for you to have really effective tools that you can use so that you are able to accomplish what you set out to do.

I want for you to be you.  I want you to let go of those pesky inner beliefs that hold you back and actually need to be challenged and let go of.

I want for you to see the purpose of your work and to see your significance.

My work matters to me because I want you to be living a life that really matters to you.
