“Knowing “why” you want to do something, not just doing it.”
Have you asked yourselves the reason behind why you did something? Why are you working on these projects? Is it only because of fame, is it just a responsibility as someone that currently graduate or money?
Well, we couldn’t be a hypocrite. Of course money also one of the main reason. But have you think about it deeply, why do you want to do your job? According to Winfrey, she said by understanding the “why” behind the doing could also change the paradigm for every show which in the term it also means for every work that you did.
Let’s turn the platform or your main reason to service. The same way like Winfrey did when that decision changed her life. Because she’s no longer just doing the show, instead she made clear intention to use every show that she did to inform, to encourage, to uplift, to inspire and to entertain others in the same time.
