When You Ask "What's The Point?"

Marijanel Show

It's a question that we've all asked ourselves from time to time. "What's the point?" We all have moments where we stop and wonder and search for the reasons we're doing what we're doing.
Whether it be in our creative pursuits or any of our other endeavors, sometimes it can feel like the ferris wheel of life just keeps spinning around and around, never reaching its destination. We can go through burnout cycles over and over again without ever seeing the outcomes or results that we're really looking for.
And then, every once in a while, we'll just stop the madness and ask ourselves "What's the Point?"
I've been there too.

What we're really asking ourselves in those, what's the point moments is about deeper purpose, not just the purpose of your day to day activities, but of life. Yeah, I'm getting deep here, I'm talking about the meaning, you know, the meaning of life, the deeper purpose of how we're really making a difference in the world.
We're not asking what's the point of our day-to-day activities; (well maybe we are sometimes) but today we're going deeper than that—we're talking about life's deeper purpose. The meaning behind what we do with our lives, and how are we making a difference in the world.

I'll also update you on those 15 pounds I'm losing!
