Compelling Reason

My dearest mentor, Jagjit Kaur always stress on how important the compelling reason in my life. This is something that I could not compromised with. And for many months, I always don't have any clue what compelling reason is all about. Meeting with her, always end up she assigned me to find what is my Compelling Reason. I created one, then after a few days, I decided my 'compelling reason' that I created is not really my compelling reason. Why? It is not pushing me much!

What is compelling reason?

According Dato' Vijay Eswaran, Founder of QI Group and Managing Director of The-V, compelling reason, or dream is something that keep me going, which keeps me outthere pushing myself, not making me tired because I am so focused in what I am doing.
Let's read what is he wrote about compelling reason:

" If this dream is not compelling, you will not do anything to achieve it. It should push you forward to do something.

If you are looking at the predicament of an impoverished village, or of a dying best friend or of a homeless child, it evokes so much compassion and pity in you, , so much that you feel: “I want to do something for this person. I want to build a hospital. I want to give them a school…” There is a reason first, and then it compels you, it drives you. Compelling reason is something that makes you get up every morning to do something you strongly believe in.

The first step towards achieving success is in understanding yourself and finding that compelling reason to reach your dream. Identify the driving force which will take you out there everyday, face rejections, come back home and take you back the next day.

Most of us are not sure what our compelling reason is. If we don’t have a reason pushing us forward, nothing can be achieved. No one else can tell you what your compelling reason is.

You have to BE more before you can do, and you have to DO more before you can have. Compelling reason defies logic; it does not allow you to be tired. It makes your think bigger. Because you know that there is something to be achieved.

The only secret to achieving your dreams is to help people around you achieve theirs, giving hope to people who lost it. It is in raising yourself to help mankind. If your compelling reason is beyond material needs, it is even more compelling."

Then again, what is my compelling reason??
