I know my WHY, This is my HOW
There are two very important words that embody your life. Why and How.
You need to have a "Why". Why are you working? Why are studying? Why are you not out partying when your peers are? Why are you here? Your Why is extremely import in pursuing your goals. Your why is your daily motivation and drive. Know your Why.
Your How determines whether or not you reach your Why. Funny enough your How is developed by your Why. You've often heard people saying Know what you want and go for it. Don't worry about how you're going to get there. Just focus on getting there. The how part will come after. This is exactly what I am talking about here.
Success is such a simple process but it requires hard work. If you're not going to work hard then stop trying. You are wasting your energy and most importantly you are wasting your time. Time wasted is time that will never be regained.
Conclusion
Steemit has become my second job. Just like my first job I love it. I enjoy doing it. It's my passion. When you're passionate about your job it doesn't feel like a job.
It does not put strain on you; it doesn't make you miserable; It doesn't make you lose sleep at night; instead it comforts you; keeps you warm; brings a smile to your face; although at times it gets tiring, you just need a short break and then you're back on it. That's passion. Writing is my passion. Whether I'm good or not at it, that's beside the point. It brings joy into my life. It makes me happy. Do what makes you happy. Thank you @hopehuggs for introducing me to this world and guiding me through it.

Steem On!
Although the upvote doesn't have any value, I still value it. Thank you so much for the support. I really appreciate it.
I read part 1 and part 2, what is your daily job that you love so much? I wish I could say I had a first job that I loved as much as you. I agree that whatever it is you do you need to have an obsession with it. I think that is where I have gone wrong. I second guess everything I do when it comes to making money online and I abandon things before they even have the chance to get off the ground. Love this motivational post! This has given me motivation to restart a project that I'm passionate about.
Firstly thank you so much for kind comment. It brought a huge smile to my face. I am a primary school educator. It's one of those jobs that's a calling because without love and passion for it you'd be miserable and end doing a lot of harm to children and to yourself.
I am so happy to learn that these two posts have motivated you. I was exactly like you just a few months ago. I always started programs online wanting to make money but I always gave up even before really starting. This cost be a lot of money and most importantly a lot of time. My WHY wasn't strong enough and it showed in my inability to follow through with anything I started online.
You are giving yourself a second chance. Use it well with newly found obsession and do whatever it takes to get it done!!!
I’m a big believer in knowing your “why.” When you have a strong reason, it becomes your motivation. When you want to give up, remembering why you are doing something will give you the strength to continue.
A strong WHY will get you out of bed an extra hour, an extra two hours, an extra three hours earlier because it just won't let you sleep without accomplishing your goals! Intrinsic motivation is the best motivation.
You are living proof of the power of why.
Thank you :)
