    Those questions kickstart almost every thought, tweet and blog post I write.

        Joe, I’ve asked why do I do what I do? Whats the reason and is it GOD focused.

    Great reminder, we need to always know and remember the why of what we are doing.

      Exactly. When we have the Why, we have something that can propel us through the trying periods of our endeavors.

    I’m planning on reading Simon Sinek’s book “Start with Why.”

    Why gets to the belief center.

    Why gets to the heart.

    Why takes us beyond surface and into the root.

      Sounds like a good book. I’ll have to check it out.
