What drives you?
Is it money? Or fame? Recognition perhaps?
Some would say a desire to lead a better life, provide more for the family, financial security, early retirement goals maybe?
If at an interview, you may think of more of the ‘right’ answers, but the question is not one asked in front of a panel. This one is best addressed in front of a mirror.
And if you are thinking about what the right answer is – well, there isn’t one right answer. Rather, there is no right or wrong answer here. Your truth is separate from mine, and from anyone else.
So really, the question was not meant to elicit an answer here – it was to make you think and possibly go deeper to find what it is that makes you want to get up and get going, everyday, day after day.
And if you ask me, I would just say this – the urge to do complete justice to my potential. That’s it. The rest comes with it.
Always good to find a simplified answer to the toughest questions, isn’t it?
But yes, a lot of questions may follow. What IS my potential, is the first logical one in the series. Know that, and then centre your existence around that.
How do I get there? Possibly the second question. See, I got you thinking more now.
Who can help me in this quest (I hate the word ‘journey’ by the way) – that may be question three.
Let’s begin with these three questions – the rest will come to you.
Let me know how it goes:)
