Embracing Your Why – Anderson Connect

This month’s Connect is about remembering … your greatness within, the “why” that keeps you going, the power of allowing others to support along the way and the difference you make every day.

Whether you’re launching into your program, filled with anticipation or in the midst of the final stretch, studying until the wee hours and keeping your sights set on that cap and gown – you have all you need within you to achieve the amazing vision you hold for your life.

Sometimes we just need a reminder of our purpose and potential in the challenging moments and a team cheering us along during those ups and downs on the path of a worthy goal. This month’s Connect offers you a tip on realigning with your reason for being here and inspiration for embracing your next level of extraordinary. We cannot wait to see how you leave your mark!

A Thought to Ponder

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” ~ Mark Twain

You are here for a powerful reason.

The choice you made to embark on the next level of your career, to elevate your life, and to contribute to the community in which you live, began with a spark of a reason and a deep desire that drove you to action. Your “Why”- why you wanted to begin college or return, to raise your credentials, align your career with what you love, for yourself, for your family, for a future you can be proud of – knowing it, makes all the difference.

Consciously considering and remembering what brought you to this experience at this time in your life, keeps you going when the hours are long and the juggling of commitments tiring. Your Why keeps you focused on what comes after you walk across that stage and celebrate your graduation and the vision you hold is finally real. Knowing your ‘Why’ makes the ‘How’ worth it on the way to achieving the life you deserve. So, what is your why? Write it, post it, and let it inspire you every day.

The Pencil’s Tale ~ A Story Everyone Should Hear | Dare to do. Motivation

The Moral to Inspire Us:
Like a pencil … you are sharpened for greatness, capable of correcting mistakes, enriched in the hands of another and, most of all, defined by what is within and the unique and precious mark you leave on the life you live.
