Quote
Be clear on your reason why, and you’ll activate the power of your purpose. You’ll find the strength to take each necessary step along the way.
For every achievement you’ve ever achieved there’s been a reason. Know the reason and you will get it done.
To make sure you get it done, give yourself a reason why, if a compelling reason isn’t apparent, dig deeper
