Why?

This isn’t a post about why life is the way it is, or a response to why something might be going wrong in life. It is more of a written exploration to “why” I do what I do.

I’ve been reading a book written by Simon Sinek titled, “Start With Why.” If you haven’t read it, go read it! I don’t necessarily agree with the world view he has, but I do agree with his observation and it aligns very well with my world view. 

It has caused me to formulate and analyse why I do what I do. In this case HVAC. I have started to formulate what inspires me to do HVAC every day. 

Have you ever had periods in your day to day dealings where you felt like work wasn’t that fun? You really only went to work to make a living?  We all have. I go through periods like that also with my job. So, in response to my reading, I’m formulating in my mind and in writing what it is that inspires me to get up every day and fix air conditioners or help buildings’ comfort systems to operate properly. I have to say, today was an inspiring day of starting my day in the correct mindset of WHY! When I was inspired today, I had desire, just like Zig Zigler says, “When you have vision for the future desire is created. When you have desire, planning and preparing to win become something you get to do, instead of have to do.”

So now it’s your turn. Why do you do what you do? Begin to formulate your ideas of what inspires you to flourish in your marriage, work, or ministry. I will let you know that it should include how it is worship to God and service to other people.
