What is my "Why"

On Sundays, I'm going to call the posts #SundayFunday. I like websites that personalize the business experience. A phrase I hear often in real estate meetings is: Find your WHY or What is your WHY...... meaning that working hard gets tiring and you need to know your reasons to work hard so that you can be successful.
Earlier in June I went to a three-day training on investing in note buying. And let me tell you. It was boring and overly detailed and hard stuff to learn. Spending 27 hours talking and learning about a topic is not usually how I prefer to spend my weekends.
On the start of the second morning, I am reminded of one of my whys......my kids.

When my brain is already feeling tired and overloaded, I opened my notebook to see a drawing of dragons created by my 6 year old. And then they had donuts...one of which I picked just because it had sprinkles because it's a favorite of my two little boys. (Every Sunday, our church has the yummiest donuts and it's a tradition for all four of our boys to get a donut when they help me in the nursery. Ridgewood Donuts are the best!)
As things get hard, remember your why and push past the worry to find success!
