WHY as coined by Simon in his book “Start With Why” is something that defines us in terms of our values and beliefs.A WHY is formed by connecting the dots from the past.
A JUST CAUSE on the other hand is a vision for the future that is bigger than ourselves.
Think of WHY as a the foundation of our house and JUST CAUSE as the futuristic model of the house.
Thus knowing our WHY can help us better in defining a JUST CAUSE.
The concept of WHY was introduced by Simon Sinek in his iconic book titled “Start With Why”.
A WHY is another name for finding a deep filled purpose in our lives.This has to be in sync with our own personality traits as well.
When we run after short term benefits , hit a goal , get a promotion we do find moments of happiness which is short lived.This is like a “dopamine hit” which is bound to die after some time.
Hence our sense of purpose has to be long term.When we delve deep and find our purpose or WHY , more often it is part of a futuristic vision which is bigger than ourselves.
When we work towards attainment of the WHY , we sense the flow of “oxytocin” or the fulfillment chemical that enriches us.

Simon Sinek pioneered the concept of WHY as one which gives us purpose and meaning in our lives.We should each strive towards finding out our real purpose or “WHY” in our lives for a fulfilling life.
When we say and do the things what we truly believe our behavior is regarded as consistent.This is when people start believing in us and are loyal to us.This is true integrity that we exhibit.
This is when we are truly living our WHY.
