What Are Your Reasons For Being
1. The brain looks for reason. In fact, we always ask the question, “Why did you do it?” Or, “What happened?” Or, simply. The question, “Why.” We want to know- and most of the things that we want to know are the reason behind an action, or the purpose behind it.
2. True purpose always has the reason behind it. Inanimate objects have the purpose- but no reason for them. A table has a purpose but it has no reason. When man makes a purpose, it should have a reason for it to make it more strong and forceful. Choice activates because of a reason.
3. You are alive now, and you may not know the reason or have a purpose. The why of it you may not care about. You must formulate a reason to have a life of value.
4. “Why do you do it?” you are asked. And you may answer, “Nothing,” or in Tagalog, “La lang. Bakit ka tumawag? Wala lang. It is a limp answer. And so it is a limp life. Having no reason is having a limp life. So people will tell you, “Please do not waste my time.” Having no reason for doing a thing is a waste of time
5. What is your reason for being? Let us talk first about your being. Being means essence. Does your life have any essence, or meaning?
6. Your being a man or a woman, what is that? Your being a father, what is it? Or, a carpenter, what is it to you? Are you happy to see the purpose of what you are building or working on? Are you happy to be a taxi driver? Why? Or, for no working or doing anything, that is a bummer.
7. Your being is a gift of God to you. You live… and you are normal. You have all the functional abilities. You have a body and a brain. You are a small god in the flesh. You are like God, created in His image.
8. But why do you exist? Why do you have a being?
9. What happens when you have some papers on the table and your turn the electric fan on? Why? But what happens when you put a heavy object on top? Why? Is this a purpose or a reason?
10. What happens when a person doesn’t work? Why? What happens when a person works? Why? What happens when a person gets involved in an opportunity? Why?
11. Why is a person not succeeding in life? Because there is not enough reason that he formulated to do so. What he has is wish. There are many wishy-washy lives.
12. Your reason-strong reason will make you. Money may not make you, but the cause of preservation will make you. You may not risk your life to cross a street with lots of cars for a hundred thousand pesos. But you will risk it to save your child on the other side.
13. Why do people becoming willing to have their chest opened up for heart surgery? For what?
14. When you see the reason of your life, you will be forced to do something. But you will have to be made to see it.
15. Sometimes people do not see it- and so nature makes them see it. Or an outside force makes them see it.
16. That is unfortunate- a tragedy.
17. You have to see it now. There are tons of reasons that you can get. That is why Jesus Christ came to save you. “what doth it profit the whole world if you lose your soul?”
18. How do you go about to materialize your reason for being? Let’s start with the old people, from 60 years old. Convince yourself that each day is a day of value, rather than a day of waiting, let it be a day of opportunity. Everyday, look for an opportunity, formulate a reason why you are 60 years old, 70 years old, or 80 years old. Do not, I say again, do not think that there is no more reason for you to live for. And do not say that you live for your grand children. Create a reason to live for. People who have reasons for life take care of themselves. Maybe help other people your age who are sick- take your chance to start a conversation with people of any age. Don’t listen to people who tell you that you are old already and what you have to do is just stay home. What reason is that? You may start an organization, maybe a jam session for senior citizens. Whatever, do not make it a thought that you don’t have anymore reason to live for.
19. For everyone, to live an active and healthy life, we must have a known formulated reason.
20. Our brain works by impression. If there is no impression in the brain, a thought is not retained. We see and hear a lot of things on the daily basis, but we do not retain many o them- we only retain things that are impressed on our brain. Then we retell the story by referencing it.
21. An idea that we keep repeating to ourselves becomes real- and it becomes a part of us.
22. Formulate a reason to yourself and keep repeating it to your brain for impression. Now money is just a means- so you reason for being is not about money- it is about what money will do and buy for you. You should impress your brain that you should have the money.
23. Perhaps your reason is to have a better lifestyle- a style of living. You don’t want to live a boring life. A boring life is like staying at home because you do not have any money to go out. And you hate that. To make that a reason, you should do brain impression. You tell yourself that you do not want a boring life. You tell your brain to hate a boring life. Make the brain develop a reason for you not to live a boring life in whatever form.
24. Perhaps you are in a situation that are unhappy and that you need to change. Remember, You Are Not A Tree. Perhaps you are in a job that you are not satisfied with. Tell your brain that you should find another way to have another good paying job, or perhaps change into another position. If the reason is really huge huge you will drastically find a way. Your really have to impress this information on your brain. Impress this on your nervous system. Your brain will not tell you to sit down only and do nothing. Your brain will activate itself to make you see into many changes and avenues. If there’s no way, then there’s no way. But if there’s a way, your brain will find it.
25. Reason and philosophy work hand in hand. Philosophy is a study of reasons. Your outlook should be, what if you will still be alive in ten years, will you allow yourself to get ten years older without improvement? Remember, if you keep on doing the same thing over and over again, you will get the same3 thing over and over again. Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Another thing that you need to convince yourself with is,
If you do not die young, you will get old. Then you get old and die for sure.
26. Why not should be the answer to the question why. Why do you plan for your life? Why not. Why do you want to change for the better? Why not? Why do you want to be rich? Why not? Why do you want to be healthy? Why not? Why do you want to be beautiful? Why not? Why do you want to live long? Why not? Why do you want to be the best? Why not?
27. Will our situation change if we will not do anything about it? Some might say that God will change it. The answer to this is, If God will change it, He would have to do something with you. It is not God that needs the change, but it is you. So you would have to change. That’s why we have to change because we need to change. That is why you need to change because you need to change.
28. Inspiration will follow fulfillment of reason. What will you do if for some wonderful series of events, your income will change to P100,000 a month? Or better still, P500,000 a month? What will you do?
29. What is real is what is real. It is possible to change your life. The idea is impression on your brain with the reason why you need to do so. And what is your reason for being?
