Why Are You Doing It?

Good reasons to do something:

• You love it.
• It needs to be done.
• Your life will be worse if it is left undone.
• Another life (or many lives) will be improved by you doing it.
• You will create beauty. (There is never enough beauty in this world.)

 Bad reasons to do something:

• You'll get revenge.
• It will make you famous. (Fame for fame's sake only is often a Pyrrhic victory.)
• It will make people jealous of you.
• You're bored, and you can't think of anything else to do.

 So, this thing you're about to do? What list does it fall into?
