“What’s It For”

That’s been the theme for the past week. It was literally the title for one of the sections of the book I’m currently reading and has come up in a lot of my conversations recently. When we choose to do participate in certain activities or behaviors there’s always a reason behind it. That doesn’t mean the reason is good. We seldom do things completely out of sheer whim or randomness, even if it seems random. I’ve been thinking a lot about the reason behind why I do things, or more specifically to what end. What activities and behaviors build on the person I am trying to be, and which activities and behaviors detract from that.
