Nothing is pointless. Every thought, every yes or no, and every act taken upon yourself or for others has its own purpose. It's not your job to think, but to decide. Who do I want to be? What kind of life will I create by saying yes or no right now? What is my goal for acting this way? Everything takes you somewhere. And every somewhere comes from whatever we decide in the moment. You do not settle for a life that's been decided, you decide what kind of life is worth settling for.
