The New Year often inspires fresh starts and self-reflection. While Sam doesn’t typically create an extensive bucket list of yearly “To-Dos,” she firmly believes in the importance of understanding what we truly want from life. For her, Start With Why by Simon Sinek has been a cornerstone on this journey of self-discovery.
Sinek’s writings frequently draw on business examples, as these scenarios are familiar to many of us. However, the lessons extend far beyond the workplace. Whether in our homes, families, businesses, volunteer efforts, or community interactions, we all need a clear understanding of who we are, what we aim to achieve, and how we can collaborate with others to move forward.
It’s easy to observe what someone—or a business—does, whether that’s selling books, writing books, crafting furniture, or pursuing countless other endeavors. But uncovering the deeper Why behind those actions is challenging because it’s intangible. Yet, understanding our Why is essential; without it, our efforts risk becoming aimless, like wheels spinning without traction.
This year, instead of compiling a list of “What-to-Dos,” let’s give ourselves the gift of digging deep to uncover our “Why-we-Dos.” At Words of Windsor, we look forward to supporting you on your journey of self-discovery.
Words of Windsor is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
