The Most Powerful Question Ever

by Linda Andrews

We’ve all had those goals or desires that sit in the back of our minds, the business idea you never start, the pivot you keep postponing, the dream that feels just out of reach. You know it matters, but you can’t seem to commit.

The truth is, it’s not just about the goal. It’s about your why.

Why This Matters

Without a clear why, even the best intentions can collapse under:

• Burnout from pushing without purpose.

• Confusion about what steps to take.

• Distraction from old habits and routines that pull you off track.

That’s why the most powerful question you can ask yourself is:

“Why?”

The Power of Asking Why

When you attach a strong why to your goals, the habits and routines that once felt soul-sucking begin to transform into something energizing.

Here’s the formula:

Why + Desire/Goal = Momentum

For example:

• Why do I want a thriving business? To impact clients, grow my gifts, and create freedom that supports my life.

• Why do I want a passion-filled marriage? To share life with a partner I cherish, create harmony at home, and grow together.

• Why do I want to walk my dog every day? To feel joy in simple moments and remember how easy happiness can be.

Your why turns a task into a source of energy. It fuels your actions, even when motivation is low.

Your Next Step

Set aside 15 minutes this week. Look at your biggest goals, your daily routines, even the things you’ve been avoiding, and ask yourself why. Write down the answers. Let them guide your next step.

When your why is clear, your life has direction.
