I once met a young woman who had dreams of swimming for the U.S Olympic team.She had to get up every morning at 4 a.m.jye.ai swim for 3 hours before going to school.She did not party with her friends on Saturday night.She had to study and keep her grades up，just like everyone else.
When I asked her what compelled her with such super-human ambition and sacrifice（犧牲），she simply said. "I do it for myself and the people I love.It's love that gets me over the hurdles and sacrifices."
A reason or a purpose is a combination of "wants" and "don't wants. "When people ask me what my reason for wanting to be rich is，it is a combination of deep emotional "wants" and "don't wants."
I will list a few.First the "don't wants." for they create the "wants." I don't want to work all my life.I don't want what my parents aspired for，which was job security and a big house.I don't like being an employee.I hated it that my dad always missed my football games because he was so busy working on his career.I hated it when my dad worked hard all his life and the government took most of what he worked for at his death.
Now the "wants".I want to be free to travel the world and live in the lifestyle I love.I want to be young when I do this.I want control over my time and my life.I want money to work for me.
Those are my deep-seated，emotional reasons.What are yours？If they are not strong enough，the reality of the road ahead may be greater than your reasons.I have lost money and been set back many times.jye.ai it was the deep emotional reasons that kept me standing up and going forward.I wanted to be free by age 40.jye.ai it took me until I was 47 with many learning experiences along the way.
I wish I could say it was easy.It wasn't，but it wasn't hard either.But without a strong reason or purpose anything in life is hard.
