“What’s the point? I don’t see the meaning of my actions. It’s not worth it.”
Do these thoughts sound familiar?
The truth is, many intelligent, capable people quietly struggle with this question. It’s not a lack of ability -it’s a loss of meaning. You can do things, but an inner voice whispers, “Why bother?” That quiet dialogue drains motivation until even simple actions start to feel pointless.
This often happens when we lose connection — to our goals, to a sense of purpose, or even to our own energy. We move through the day uninspired, disengaged, and uncertain why our efforts matter.
But there’s a gentle way out. Instead of asking, “What’s the point?”, ask a different question:
“What can this teach me?”
This simple shift moves you from judging to exploring, from frustration to curiosity — and curiosity quietly reawakens motivation.
Start asking: What could this give me or teach me, even if it’s small?
For example:
- Talking to someone uninteresting might teach you patience — or how to listen without needing excitement.
- Cleaning your home might teach calm, order, and how the environment shapes emotion.
- Taking a walk might teach clarity — how movement stirs thought and mood.
- Finishing a small task might teach consistency and the quiet power of completion.
The point is rarely one grand purpose. The point is to live in a way that keeps your spirit awake — to stay curious, to learn, and to grow through everything you do.
Warmly,
