Remember your whys

Here's how he got it back]( Editor's Note There are times when we'll lose motivation. Maybe it's because things aren't going the way we want them. Or maybe because they are and we don't know what to do with all the good fortune. It could be because we're not sure how to fix things. Or how to make things better. Or how to hack through the mountains of tasks that we need to do. Or sometimes we just lose our excitement, especially when life gets in the way. At some point, at least once, we would lose our motivation to do things. The best advice I've been given is to remember my "whys" Why am I here? Why do I do these things? Why should I fix things? Why should I keep going? Why is this worth it? Really helps put things in perspective. -Lyra [Echelon TOP100 returns to take on APAC!]( Articles you shouldn't miss [ICO bans are irrelevant as the momentum it has created is unstoppable, says Global Brain Venture Partner Takashi Sano]( by [Sainul Abudheen K]( [E-commerce roadmap series: Bank Indonesia launches national payment gateway]( by [Anisa Menur A.
