Your WHY is The Key To Getting What You Want

You know WHAT you want. A deeper relationship… Your dream man…. Real unconditional love…

But do you know WHY you want it?

The women who have what you want know their WHY.

It’s not enough to know what you want and get it. It won’t last. The gap between what you want and the deeper reason you want it is where your manifestation power falls through the cracks.

Why? Because it’s easy to desire things from ego, conditioning, or even survival mode.

Your why is from a creative, empowered, and authentic place. A why keeps you anchored and your manifestation process connected to the divine. Your why is connected to your Soul’s purpose.

For example, let’s say you want a man. If your why is just “because I want to be in a relationship where I feel happy”, that is not sustainable. Why is that relationship you want connected to your life purpose? Maybe it is because you want to model healthy love for your children, so you can raise loving, independent people as your legacy to this world, as a part of your Soul’s medicine to be a leader and teacher of love in this lifetime. See the difference? Your why is personal to your soul.

Ask yourself: What is my deepest desire right now, in this exact moment? What is my deepest desire in this season of my life? What is my deepest desire for the long term/future? Why are these so important to me? What healing of my soul will these desires bring to me? How will these desires bring me closer to who-I-really-am?

When you can answer these questions deeply and honestly, you’ve found your why.

And that why brings you back to ease when you feel suffering. When you know your why, you don’t quit. Healing so you can show up as your true self may get uncomfortable. Having the patience to wait for the right person may get lonely. It’s easier to normalize your pain, fall back into old patterns, or say yes to the first guy who looks at you, right? But when you have clarity in your why you stay committed to your truth even when it’s uncomfortable.

Your why is your north star. Everything changes when you get clear on your why behind your desires. Your choices become easeful, your boundaries become stronger, your ability to walk away from the wrong relationship becomes an empowered choice, and you stop accepting crumbs because you know what you’re building toward. You stop tolerating less because you know what you deserve. Your why radiates outward.

When you’re anchored in a clear, soulful why, you’re not desperate or in a constant state of seeking. You’re aligned with something greater than yourself. And a partner worth having wants to be part of that. He wants to support that. He’s attracted to a woman who has a purpose, not a woman who’s looking for purpose in him.

Clear intention is magnetic. Next time you feel frustrated because you aren’t getting what you want, ask yourself why you want it. Get right with yourself. That relationship you’re looking for IS possible.
