Stop Asking How Things Will Get Done: Discover the Why Instead

In every video game, players are given clear objectives. Whether it's defeating a powerful boss, completing a challenging puzzle, or winning a race, the "why" of the mission is always obvious. We know why we must defeat that boss—to unlock the next level, gain new powers, or achieve victory. But before we start strategizing, we first embrace the reason behind our quest.

In life, many people jump straight to the "how" without fully understanding their "why." They focus on how they will get a promotion, how they will complete a task, or how they will overcome challenges. However, just like in gaming, it is essential to first discover your "why". You know; your reason, purpose, and motivation. When you are equipped with your "why," the path forward becomes clearer, and you are more likely to succeed.

Identifying Your "Why"

Everything starts with an objective. As players, we often ask ourselves, "Why do I need to defeat this boss?" The answer drives our efforts, keeping us motivated even through multiple failures. In life, your "why" serves a similar purpose. Ask yourself:

• What drives me?
• Why is this journey important to me?
• What am I truly working toward?

By identifying your core purpose, you'll find that challenges become less daunting. Just like in a game, the boss fight might be tough, but knowing that victory leads to growth makes it worth the effort.

Step 2: Equip Yourself with Your "Why"

In video games, once the objective is clear, we start thinking about how to tackle it. But before we jump into strategies, we equip ourselves with the necessary tools. It may be leveling up, gathering resources, or learning new skills. In life, once your "why" is clear, it's time to equip yourself with the mindset and tools that will help you achieve your goal.

• Mindset: Just like in gaming, persistence is key. Understand that failures are part of the journey, and each setback teaches you something new.
• Tools: What skills, knowledge, or resources do you need to move forward? In the same way that gamers unlock abilities or collect weapons, you need to gather the tools that will help you succeed in life.

Step 3: Facing Life's Boss Battles

With your "why" firmly in place and your toolkit prepared, you're ready to face life's challenges head-on. Nevertheless, there will be obstacles and setbacks. But with a clear purpose, you'll find that your perseverance and passion push you through tough times.

Remember, every boss fight is an opportunity to grow, evolve, and unlock new levels of achievement. The same applies to life. When you encounter a challenge, remind yourself of your "why" and take it as an opportunity to grow stronger, smarter, and more resilient.

Life and gaming alike, are filled with objectives, challenges, and victories. By discovering your "why" and equipping yourself with the right mindset and tools, you can transform the way you approach your goals. These are the steps to begin gamifying your life.
