I Do What I Do...

During training we did a free write entitled "I do what I do because...," since I have been struggling lately I thought I should revisit it and share...

I do what I do:

Because life isn't fair
because life's been too fair to me
because I don't deserve it (anything)
to serve my country
Because someone is relying on me
to make myself look good
because it is my responsibility.
To become an adult
to grow up
to grow
to become a better person.
To adventure.
To be the change.
For My Father.
To make people (myself) proud
to prove myself
To impress my sister.
For My Mother.
Because I can.
to escape the mundane
for the friendships
For My Team.
to learn
to learn about myself
To learn new skills
So I can fend for myself
For My Family.
(and for my future family)
to build my resume
to find my calling
because I love people
Because I love
Because of Africa
Because I was too cowardly for the Peace Corps
To travel
To live
In hopes of mattering
to be a catalyst
because I am good at it

For my home

For my friends

For the future

to explore

Because I want to push my boundaries

Because life happens on the edge of your comfort zone

To discover

Because I am lost and hoping to find
To live my dreams
To Improve
To Inspire
