When you ask
any little girl or boy,
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
You might hear answers like this:
I want to be
a firefighter,
a police officer,
a doctor,
a singer,
an architect
a mechanic,
an author...
Their answers don’t stop there.
They always have a reason for their choice,
“Because...”
Because I want to help people.
Because I want to make people smile.
Because I want people to feel better.
When you ask adults why they do what they do,
you often get a different answer.
I fell into it.
It paid the bills.
We had a baby.
And there is no “because…”
It got lost somewhere between
child and adulthood.
No wonder we are told
60% of working people are not engaged
at work.
If this is you,
isn’t it time to find your
because?
