Find Your WHY | Simon Sinek

What if you don't really have any friends?

Thank you! Also John Hamm should play you in your biopic.

The answer to why is the justification one gives to their actions and thoughts that are rooted in biological. The monkey rules. Always.

Oh😮😊

I’ve read “Finding Your Why” and I’m so frustrated that there’s no description anywhere of how to do this without inconveniencing another person. I’ve read and watched so much of this work, I truly admire his take on most things, but assuming everyone has the courage, availability, and access to take up another person’s time and energy and do an entire therapy exercise with them (which is how the book tells you to do it) is excluding a large portion of the population, especially post-Covid. I’m willing to do the work, but as soon as another person is involved I lose focus and can’t be as honest.
Please please please Simon, how do I do this on my own?

Whoa. Mic drop.

What if you don't have any friends?

What if you don’t really have any true best friends?

What if I don't have close friends?

So what if you dont have close friends. what if you are just a drifter?

What do you do if you don’t have friends?

i have been looking for my why my whole life thankyou for so much ill deffinly pay it forward

Simon, I get it, but at the same time people could have more friends that they drove inspiration from, how do you find that somethings that is uniqur enough? I feel like you could have said: I suppose you feel inspired by more people in your close friend circle and that might have been true, right?😊

Yup...why is important.

It's really helpful to find your why and get your drive through it.

My Manager had the Team listen to this video.. Love it!!!!

You say exactly the same thing as the first time I watched you answer this questions in a different video. I love your consistency

Hi Simon❤

I don't understand. :( I want to find a job where I'm adding value and don't dread going to every morning... but my reason why is because I don't want to hate existing. ... That doesn't sound like an inspiring why. Am I doing it wrong?

I love this WHY . I love the work and contribution of Simon

Try it in India.... Abe Tu mera loda hai this answer u will get

Love your content. :) Disagree with the fact that a why doesn't change. Our why is our purpose and we pick it, not the other way around. Even using your words: The why is the sum total of who we are. If the why can't change, then that means we can't change and this is something I personally disagree with and flies in the face of any growth mindset.

what if I don't have that kind of friend? friend that will pick up my call at 3am in the morning

Sir i am thanking you for all the support you provided. Please help me in contributing the society.

Please sir can you help me find my "why"? Please sir 😢😢

You people have friends?

I don't know what I have to give to the world. I don't even feel like I have a place in it. I will ask a friend for my why.
Any other ideas where to look for it?

Just realized I don't have any friends to ask this to.

So if we don’t have any friends does that mean we don’t have a why? 🧐

Here’s the issue, I don’t have a best friend, there is no one who would answer my call at 3am. My mom and my sister are my best friends.

I love this for ME. I have great friends who have done this for myself with great results. . Unfortunately, it's a somewhat privileged exercise. I work with people with serious mental illness. The problem is - if they saw this video, they would just feel MORE ALONE... most of them don't feel they have anyone to reach out, nobody that really has their backs. What do you suggest for them?

It’s the spark that makes your idea bright. The same spark that lights the dark so that you can know your left from your right ❤

I don't have friends, how can I find my why? I am trying to figure it out myself how can I be valuable to this world

How do I find my why if I don't have any friends?

wow. just wow

I see myself in my 15 year old son - so desperate to find out who you are and why you exist. I am quite sure this is common for most young people. How would you meet these questions? The same way you meet older folks, or do you have to adjust the message according to their maturity?

Don't agree - first off, what's your WHY in what context? Context is key - if you're talking about our Why to exist (i.e. purpose) - that can definitely change and if you're conflating your why with ones value - that's still vague and can change -when we change how we value ourselves, our Why then would change, since our perception changes, and therefore the impact we have on people changes.

As for our Why and reason for existing - life is inherently meaningful - so on that level- the WHY is built in and if you're talking about a personal Why or Purpose in life that can come from what we find valuable and how we come to convey that value is what people reflect back to us as our value - that too can change.

Thank you for being you... love and respect

Is it!how to find your why

my why is to inspire others to become the best leader they can be so that we can create a safe and secured world

My ex used this video as an excuse as to why they were being a shitty person to me.

The problem is about not having a friend that we could count on in order to find our why, is there a way we would find it ourself?

Thanks Simon. I wonder if my WHY is the same as my customers' WHY (i.e. why they buy my products and services).

As a copywriter, I would assume that their WHY is the benefits they get out of my products. But the two WHYs probably overlap. Comments, anyone? :)

Thanks Simon. Love this

Which of your books would you council to read first? I'm curious to learn how you council to find your why and put it at the service of others. "Start with why" is precedent to "Find your why". Which one should I start with?

What an amazing video Simon, I have learnt so much from your insights and it''s fascinating to know that our why is unique to us and is the authentic self before the world told us who we should be.

lol... what if you don't have close friends?

What when you know your why but have no clue what your how is?
