Description
Do we know why we do things? What can our reasons be? We have been told over the last few years that we should have “purpose” or know what our “why” is. Yet sometimes that’s not so easy to do. And how do we feel if we are the ones struggling to find out our “why” in a world that seems to respond best to those of us who seem to know?
Join me as I consider just what might be getting in the way of us finding out. Have your defence mechanism bingo card at the ready!
