Exactly Why Are You Doing That?

While browsing the plethora of social networking available to the public i notice some common trends. I noticed that a lot of people are making changes in their lives. Some of these changes are big changes and some of these changes are subtle changes. Whatever the change may be, I often ask the person this one question "Why did you decided to change ? To my amazement, most of the times people don't know why they are doing something. Whats the point of doing something if you don't know why your doing it? In this day and time people like to emulate others, but don't truly understand why that person is doing what they're doing.

You shouldn't do things just because someone else is doing it, you shouldn't do things because someone else thinks it's right,and you def shouldn't be doing something because someone else told you to do it. For ever action there is a reaction, and often times when you change things in your life other things and/or people are affected as a byproduct. If you don't truly know and understand why your doing something, you may not be ready for what results due to the change.

For ex: The decision to settle down and get married because everyone in your friendship/associate circle is doing it. If you aren't truly ready to settle down and commit to a monogamous relationship, chances are it probably won't last. Furthermore, if you don't understand why you want to settle down and get married your gonna wind up in a situation that you don't want to be in.

The point of it all is this: Do something because you want to do it, not because of others. Ask yourself: Why am I doing this?? What's going to change as a result of doing this?? Do I really understand what I am doing?
