This episode is inspired by the many coaching sessions where clarity seekers come to me with one burning question: "What's my life purpose?" They've got the family plan, the dream locale, even the number of pets sorted. But when it comes to their artistic journey, it's a foggy mess.

So, they're on a quest for the perfect "why," assuming it's the golden ticket to success. They believe that unlocking the ultimate "why" will trigger a magical cascade of actions, ushering in a happily-ever-after montage. Enter the coaching session, where they hope to unveil the perfect "why" in 45 minutes or less.

But here's the twist—I've found that the true obstacle isn't the "why" itself, but their struggle to accept, trust, and commit to it. Fixating on the perfect "why" can only take you so far. It's about embracing, trusting, and committing to your "why" unconditionally. That's where the real magic happens. As an actor or someone in the creative realm, you get it—nailing the character's "why" is one thing, but committing to it on stage is a game-changer.

And that's precisely the work I do with my clients. It's not just about finding the "why," but becoming the person who can commit to any "why." Commitment, my friends, takes time. I'm in this for the long haul with you, not a quick-fix genie. The secret to achieving your goals? Learning to be committed, no matter the circumstances.

So, if you find yourself stuck in the "why" loop, it might be a sneaky way of saying you need more willpower. But let's face it, relying solely on willpower is a dangerous game. I'm here to help artists build habits, systems, and environments that make action a breeze, free from the shackles of conscious willpower.

My hope for you is that after listening to this episode, you unsubscribe from the cult of "why" and focus on becoming the committed artists we're meant to be. Thanks for listening!
