Why Are You Here
Sean Moore
Have you ever stopped and thought to yourself just why and how you got to where you are?
On such occasions as when I do, there are moments when I think that I’ve been brought to the here and now and the who that I am by good fortune and a strong breeze. And I seize up with fear – I’ve spent all this time letting myself be awash at sea, without a port of calling.
There’s nothing wrong with being adrift, but there is everything wrong with not choosing whether or not you are drifting. The same is true for having a bullseye to aim for; if that particular target isn’t what you’ve aimed yourself for, or if the wood behind your arrowhead isn’t your will, your drive, then you are doing yourself a great disservice every moment you continue along that path.
Every action, conversation, decision, is an expression of who you are and who you want to be. Which means that everything you do should be in service of whatever conscious choice you makes to define yourself. Why not let yourself, not fate, be the biggest actor in shaping who you are, and why you are here.
