How to see the meaning in every action you take
Do you ever wonder, what’s the point to all this?
Do you ever see all that’s going wrong with the world and feel helpless and hopeless?
Do you ever feel like life is crashing down around you with no end in sight?
There’s no sugar-coating it: life is fucking tough. We struggle to find commonalities with family, friends, and strangers, alike. We struggle to find purpose for ourselves. We struggle to open ourselves up to a world that is at once both terrifying and awe-inspiring.
And while it might sometimes feel like what you do has no meaning, it does.
It does because every choice you make brings about a better or worse world, either for you or someone else.
Our responsibility
Don’t we cling to the irresponsibility of youth while simultaneously grasping at the freedom and purpose promised by adulthood?
But, being an “adult” requires us to take responsibility for our lives. If we don’t, we are pulled in two directions. Our minds are divided. Fissioned. Split.
When we don’t take responsibility, we try to walk a tight-rope between childhood and adulthood that doesn’t exist, and never has.
