Lighting the Tunnels
Why bother?
Everyone's thought this at least once in their life (don't lie, we've all been there).
There reaches a point of frustration when we have to ask ourselves “why bother to ___”. Honestly, there’s no answer that works for every person. I’ve written before about motivation but this is a different enough concept to matter. Motivation exists when we want to do ___ but have to trick ourselves to do it: we’re liars, and we’re lying to ourselves. (By the way, insert anything you find relevant into the ___ space, in case you hadn’t caught on).
So why bother? Is it because there’s a light at the end of the tunnel or some cliché that will make this post seem relevant? No. It’s because every day we have to fight through our respective tunnels and turn the lights on ourselves. Without those lights, no one would want to follow us. You wanna know what? People want to follow you. They want you to be a Genuine Storyteller and they want you to light the end of the tunnel so they can find their own way.
If everyone said “why bother” and ended at the conclusion “there’s no reason to” then we’d be lost in a dark tunnel with no way out. We can strive to be Happy Humans and we can strive to be leaders in the process of being Genuine Storyteller
I see light at the end of my tunnel. Yet, I have to fight to keep it lit. There’s no lie here, being a leader will be one of the hardest things you work to in your life. Just remember: ‘be a leader, and when necessary, lead’ (harmless repurposing of timeless good advice).
