Adopted from Simon Sinek’s book titled “The Infinite Game”
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.
Simon Sinek who introduced the concept of WHY , has very aptly mentioned the difference between WHY and “Just Cause”(One of the pre-requisite for Infinite mindset) in his wonderful book titled “The Infinite Game”.
WHY gives a sense of purpose in our lives whereas a “Just Cause” is the vision which we move towards to achieve fulfillment in our lives.
Please find below some the biggest differences..
| WHY | Just Cause |
| WHY can be only one | There can be multiple “just causes” an individual is attracted towards |
| Is the foundation built from past deeds | Is the futuristic vision |
| Gives us a sense of purpose in our lives | IS the vision which we move towards to attain a sense of fulfillment |
