WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO?
There is a reason for every purpose. God has a reason for creating all His creatures. So, you should think back to some things and decisions you have taken so far in life. Do you know why you took those steps?
You have a reason for doing it, either flimsy, substantial, real or forced. There is a reason why you are going through your
present training/job/situation. If you don’t, then there is an evaluation you
need to do to redirect you to a life with a purpose.
An answer to the whys would either re-orientate the course of your action always or validate it when you seem confused.
Please watch this
11-minute video clip and pen down your experience and what would you advise me
to do in case I do not have an answer?
This is quite insightful. It actually burned down to how we take so many of the decisions in our day to day activities.
ReplyDeleteVery true. We need to keep checking on why we do what we do in all activities we engage in. It will help us make the right decison and be a check if we are derailing. Thank you for your beautiful comments and we look forward to more from you.
DeleteVery true when the purpose of a thing is not known abuse and waste is inevitable
DeleteThe video is insightful, it explains some of the why's that has been lurking in ones mind.
ReplyDeleteExactly, that is why I see it very relevant to share it here. It has helped me and many others in life. Human minds are full of questions which have myriads of answers but the true answers could well be uderstood and given also by the greatest mind reader, if we ask the why, He will help us out. Grateful for your comment.
DeleteVery practical! For example, there are a lot of experiences I had through my involvement in the fellowship on campus that has really been helpful to me at different stages in my adult life.
ReplyDeleteTrue, so also everyone. It is nice to keep reflecting on those life experiences, even now, what we are passing throguh will surely help us in due time and many others would benefit forom the wealth of experience. We do need them.
DeleteThis is quite educative. Our decision at every stage of our lives determines our outcome in life.
ReplyDeleteIt is like the law of sowing and reaping. Our decisons have consequencies. We should check well before we make those decisions. Great!
DeleteEducation is more than homework, rote memorization, acing tests, and all the other academic demands. It is more about culturing the mind to be a great learner and mastering the art of problem solving as the case may be (Technical, Life, People etc)
ReplyDeleteKey to life is learning and to learn well, you must become a learner. A learner learns well and everywhere beyond the walls and it gives the most relevant skill in life, which problem solving. Then the why of doing will be most relevant every step to make m meaningful living. Thank you my astute poet, engineer...
DeleteThis is a fantastic question that needs to gear all human into their next level of victory. For me, I don't do anything without preplanning and replanning.
ReplyDeleteThis could only happen with an open mind to answer our why questions honestly and see if we need more attention to some areas. planning , replanning and replanning until the final .. is well accomplished, that is success.
DeleteIn life and education According to the video, not everything in life seems to look like it has a purpose but with understanding and acquiring of the skills necessary, everything has a purpose. The end of the video gives very insightful information. Overall a very good read and video.
ReplyDeleteThank you Seun. I am happy you find it useful. learing has no end for an open minded person. So all we learn will surely come together to a successful end. Good contribution.
DeleteThis video is an eye opener and helped me answer the question "Why do I do what I do?" From what I've learned from the video, I would say that I do what I do to become a better version of myself and thrive in this world.
ReplyDeleteThat is ultimate of learning. keep asking everyday, you will see your better version in a very honest with self confidence. God bless you.
DeleteJust as the speaker in the video said, the main reason why a lot of students complain about taking general education classes is because they do not know or think about the impact that those classes make on the way they reason, understand, or thrive in their core degree. That's why knowing why you do what you do is very important. It gives the drive you need to continue what you're doing no matter how strainous it might be. Think about it this way; it's not about the destination, but the journey and experiences you gain along to get to the destination.
ReplyDeleteTrue, process to progess and progress with the process leads you to a successful destination.
DeleteHaving and Education is very important but there must be a reason why you choose to go to school to seat in classes for hours and studying for hours, WHY, and that part of what the speaker was saying, must be a reason why you chose education, some didn’t and they have their reason why. Once we apply that question “why are you doing what you are doing” it make you to think and then come with plans and goals to back up the answer to that important question WHY?.
ReplyDeleteOn point. Your commitment is checked when you have a focus you follow each step of the way. Thank you Manny for this insght.
DeleteI go to classes in college not just because I want to get an A but because I have a vision that involves me thriving and flourishing. Sometimes, you can do something that looks redundant, for example, take some classes that has nothing to do with your major. The knowledge you gain from these classes help shape your mindset, making you a better person in the process. Everything is for a reason and once you are able to shape your mindset to see it as a step to take in order to thrive, you are one step closer to being successful.
ReplyDeleteVery true, Thank you.
DeleteWe all have different opinions of our focus in life. There was a time in my life that I decided to live for the future, because I want to build a new generation for myself and my upcoming children. Though it wasn't easy, but I was actually driving by what the end result will be. I actually knew what I met on ground and I was fully determined not to allow any of my children inherit same, but rather live it far better than how I met it. Life may not be fair to everyone, but your focus and determination will always make a way for you.
