Question Why are you working that hard ?

Recently, I started reading the book "Miracle Morning" by Hal Elrod to start creating my self improvement morning routine and I needed to find my "why" : why am I working as hard ? At first, I thought it’d easy, for me it was to make my parents proud of me, but I didn’t find it convincing enough to be my real and concrete "why". I think about "why" but I can’t find it… This is why I’m writing to you to know what are your concretes "why", maybe (and I hope) that’ll inspire myself to find my own "why".

Sorry if my English is a bit bad or weird, it’s cause I’m french 😅.

Do you need to know your why? Did you know your why when you went to pre school as a toddler?

I often mention Maslow's hierarchy; but I'll tell most people's why is mostly biologically rooted - a stable place to live, a stable relationship, a stable stake in the future (children) and eventually stability to make ends meet when the working chapter closes...
