Determine your why? (Your theme) what is your passion? What are you passionate about?
What do you have to bring to the table
Ask your friends family people close to you what you’re good at
~Actually after church service yesterday we got to talking and introducing ourselves to one of the pastors and he asked what we did and I mentioned going to school for psychology and he responded with I could see that. You seem like a very good listener and someone easy to talk to~
This is a good example of getting feed back from others on what you bring to the table

What are your reasons?
My story: I went to see Christmas lights the other day and as I was watching all these kids running around and the family all sitting outside by the fire it stirred something inside me… I realized how much I want to have the financial freedom to buy a home and my children not to have to worry about finances or not being able to make ends meet..
My reasons? Financial freedom to be able to provide for my future family and be able to help others as well
Knowing your why will help when you lack motivation
I lost about 13lbs in the last two months and I’ve struggled all years to lose any weight but the only difference now is that I figured out my reason why I want to lose weight. I visualized what my life would be like once I reached my goal every time I didn’t want to keep going.
