What's the point?

What’s the point?

Does your brain ever give you this question?

What’s the point – of life – of anything?

How do you feel when you ask yourself that? Like it does for me, does it create a heaviness inside of you? A feeling of defeat, or hopelessness?

Do you then continue pushing forwards on what you are working on, or do you give up? Quit?

Because what is the point?

If there is no point, then why keep trying, right?

We tend to have favorite questions to ask ourselves – ones that come up often. Are the questions that you are asking yourself high quality ones? Or are they low quality like this one?

Notice what questions you ask yourself. Notice how you tend to respond to them – if you respond at all. And notice how that response makes you feel.

Whenever you ask yourself a question, make sure you answer it. Even when your brain says but I don’t know, find the answer that’s behind that excuse.

Our brains are very powerful and creative, but what are you using that brain juice for?

Are you using it up asking yourself questions that cause you to give up?

Or are you using it on asking yourself good, intriguing questions? Ones that cause you to stop and really think about it. Ones that create a curiosity inside of you, a drive to go out and find the answer. To create the answer.

This is the point, my friends.

To figure out what programming our brains are running on, and then to use it to our benefit. To direct all of that energy and creativity towards what we want to be creating, rather than what we don’t want.

It doesn’t have to be hard or painful.

It may be uncomfortable, but you can do discomfort – you’re already doing it, whether you are consciously choosing it or not.

So when your brain offers you the question of what’s the point? Go find the point.

Go create the point.

And then find some higher quality questions.
