Discovering Your Why: Finding Your Way to Thrive Early in Your Career

Some of us seem to be born into their purpose, some find it very early in their lives and some of us need more time to find their drive, their reason to get up on Mondays.

Either is fine, as long as we are keen to find what makes us fulfilled and gives our life reason.

I spent decades doing things that weren’t advancing me and making me use my full potential. In my opinion this is a huge waste of time and talent. The sooner we find our why the quicker we thrive, the more we are successful, healthy and wealthy.
