This quote reminds us that when we truly understand the reason behind what we want to achieve—our “why”—it becomes much easier to figure out how to get there. The “how” includes the steps, the actions, and the hard work, but those can feel overwhelming without a strong reason to keep going. Having a purpose gives meaning to all the efforts and challenges we face along the way. When our “why” is clear, we become more focused and determined, and giving up no longer feels like an option.

Take the example of a young woman named Riya, who dreamed of becoming a doctor. Her “why” wasn’t just a career goal—it was a deep desire to help people in her village who had no proper medical care. Every time the studies became difficult or the exams felt too hard, she reminded herself of her purpose. That reason pushed her through sleepless nights and years of preparation. Even when others doubted her, she stayed focused, because her “why” was stronger than any obstacle.

Many times in life, the journey will test us. There will be distractions, failures, and moments of self-doubt. But when you know why you started, that reason becomes your guide. It keeps you on track and helps you find the way forward, no matter how tough things get. Purpose turns effort into passion and struggle into success.
