"Knowing your why"- Simon Sinek Start with Why
"it is only when you understand your “why” (or your purpose) that you’ll be more capable of pursuing the things that give you fulfillment.

This is a concrete pathway to developing your first written personal mission, vision, and values statement and an introduction on how to use it throughout life.
