The Power of Why

Why did you get out of bed today?

Seriously.

For a paycheck? To keep your job? To avoid boredom?

Or perhaps because you were eager to pursue your calling.
Because you believe that what you do today might make a difference tomorrow.
Because deep down inside you believe you can change the world.

Here is a fantastic TED presentation by Simon Sinek on how leaders inspire others to action with the power of why. Genuine movements always begin with a WHY – a cause. What’s your Why?
