It’s important to regularly ask yourself why you do what you do. When you don’t have a clear answer, your work is not at its best and your focus is easily diverted from what matters most.
A clearly written statement of purpose can act as your compass. It encourages and motivates you to push yourself, and gives you a reason to say no to distractions that threaten to steal your focus.
When the work you are doing is uncomfortable or unnatural, referring to your statement helps to remind you why you should push through the discomfort.
