MINDSET: Creating Vision and Purpose
Discovering your WHY - your reason for achieving your personal best.
Some students can find it difficult to be motivated for school.
Having a core reason, identifying your WHY as Simon Sinek refers to it, can help transform not only a person’s individual motivation, but also that of a school or workplace.
Often we are caught up in what we need to do and how we need to do it. Both what and how questions are important. However, to discover your purpose, your belief, your inner motivation you need to ask “Why is this important”?
When you discover your WHY, that is your reasons for why school or a subject is important - those answers increase your inner motivation and drive. So rather than waking in the morning and dreading going to school you wake in the morning and remind yourself why this is important to you and your learning.
Once you have your WHY (your reason) you can set small goals using the WOOP method below.
