What Are You Doing It For?
The Irony Of How We Destroy Ourselves
Written by a human, for humans, always.
Let me ask you a question...
What are you doing it for?
I know that is a broad question that can apply to so many things...
But I’m sure that as soon as I asked it...
Something specific came to your mind.
Whatever it was that appeared to you...
Was also probably attached with some sort of negative feelings around what you’re doing...
Even if whatever came to mind would generally be considered “good” in the world.
Whether it is the work you are doing or the business you are building...
The habit that you continue to live out that you tell yourself is good but leaves you feeling empty...
The relationship, or relationships, that you have which begin to feel shallow and unfulfilling because of what you do with those individuals...
The things you do in order to buy the attention of others who do not actually care about you and probably never will...
The face that you put on to hide the reality that is hidden underneath the surface.
Whatever it is...
There is a reason that you thought of it...
When I asked...
What are you doing it for?
In our lives...
There are so many things that we chase and do...
But we know...
Consciously or subconsciously...
That it is destroying us.
But what is ironic...
Is that we know it is destroying us...
Yet...
We continue to do it.
What are you doing it for?
Why?
What makes it worse...
Is that the more we do these things in our lives...
The more they become habit...
Meaning...
We become more likely to do it again.
We begin to create this insane and vicious cycle in our lives...
That we want to escape from...
But continue to do the same things...
Only digging the hole deeper.
What are you doing it for?
We go through this life...
With so many goals...
So much potential...
And instead of doing something...
Anything...
Towards the life we want to have...
We end up...
Doing things that make us miserable.
Is that really the type of life that you want to have?
Always working to the point where you never experience life...
Wasting away doing things we despise...
Chasing emotions that never provide what we actually need...
Lying to ourselves that things will change...
When we know...
That we end up just turning back to the same things again and again.
What are you doing it for?
You have the ability to change the path...
To do something different...
Even if it is just a little...
Just the beginning of something new...
But will you?
Will you take the time to change how you live...
Imperfectly...
But in a different direction?
I hope and pray that you do...
Because the sad reality of it all...
Is that the vast majority of people...
Will continue forward on their journey of madness into their own personal abyss...
Of their own creation...
Lying to themselves along the way that something will change...
While never doing anything differently.
What are you doing it for?
Perhaps your life...
And the world as a whole...
Would become a better place if you really thought about this question.
Then...
You did something meaningful about it to actually improve your life.
But be wary...
Because there are many people...
Who will tell you how you should change...
But are themselves trapped in their own personal abyss...
Unable to escape.
What are you doing it for?
