The Musings of a Mind

Okay, think back, when was the last time you thought, "What's the point?" I'm gonna hazard and guess and say for some, it hasn't been all that long. It seems to be a pretty common thought, actually. And a good one at that.

Wondering what the point of something is perhaps one of the most crucial points to developing our minds and our intellects. If we aren't constantly questioning things, then we become stagnant. To see it from a different perspective, let's use the child's most common question, "Why?" Asking why becomes a fundamental part of developing our thoughts and our lives. It becomes the basis of what makes our lives everything that they are.

Then stop, again, and think, how many times have you thought, "It doesn't matter." What have you lost with that thought? What have you put aside? Everyone does it, all the time, and you know, that's okay. There are things that just don't matter that much to us, and if we lose something from it, then we'll still get along fine because we ask "Why" to something else. But what if that something becomes something life changing? What might we have lost by not asking ourselves more about it, looking more into and finding out what it had to offer?

But how do we decide what to ask about and what not to ask about? Is your brain starting to melt yet from reading this? No? Hmm, I must not be doing a good enough job at making you think too hard. Thinking too hard is perhaps one of the greatest reasons that things don't get done in our lives. We sit there and think too much about the "ifs" and the "maybes." I know everyone has at some point, it is just part of life. It's learning to not let those things catch us and hold us, but to make a decision.

And I'm finished musing.
