Pursuing your Actions With Appropriate Motives

The fact that life can go in countless different directions is one of its unavoidable truths. You begin to mold your life from the minute you are able to make choices, even as a young child. These are more significant and life-altering choices as you become older. We are completely in control of the path, means, and people we choose to take in life. Life is full with possibilities and options.

It is also normal for us to have aspirations and goals since, as humans, we look for fulfillment in doing tasks, making progress, and making a difference in the world and the lives of others.

How then can you determine whether your actions are motivated by the correct things? For that, we have a built-in system. We are simply aware of it. Your instincts will tell you when you're acting against your better judgment, just as they do when you're hungry.

Additionally, it depends on your personality. Being unique, no two individuals have the same desires in life, so we will all have rather different goals from one another.

Therefore, if you want to be a musician, do it because you are passionate about music and not just because your friend, who you may think is "cool," does it. If you want to study science, do so because you want to contribute to the betterment of humanity and because you value knowledge acquisition more than your parents' advice.

It is imperative to adhere to this motto not just in major life decisions but also in minor ones. Many times, we act out of obligation, resentment, but in each of these situations, we should stop and evaluate what we're doing and adjust our behavior accordingly. Although the dark side is alluring, resist the urge!

The problem is that when we reflect back on our behavior, we almost always assign blame to other individuals or external factors. It is simple to say things like, "I did this or I did that in the heat of the moment," but I want to assure you that we can do better.

You alone own the ability to shape your decisions and behaviors. Additionally, your chances of making the proper decision increase if you consider your options carefully and remain composed throughout.

If at any point in your life you find yourself feeling uncertain about something, try asking yourself why you are doing it in the first place, what you intend to accomplish, and how that will make you feel. Go ahead and take action if it "feels" right and makes sense. Simply ensure that you are being truthful with yourself.

Happy Weekend 😊
