By Paulo Coelho
We do not need to know “how” or “where”, but there is one question that we should all ask whenever we start something : What am I doing this for?

Unfortunately, the ‘how’ and ‘where’ are thequestions most of us ask, and if the answers involve difficulties and battles and paths one has never followed,they leave it aside, forgetting to ask the most important : why? what am i doing this for? in order to do what? and achieve what? am i doing this for me? for my dreams? to evolve? to become a better me? am i doing this for others? WHAT AM I DOING THIS FOR???
this question is the most fundamental..the answer can lead you and prevent you from taking a path that is not good for you or can help you take the one that is best for you
Love to all of you
When something touches my heart so deeply, I’m doing I don’t know why, just because signs appear.
I follow them. They conduced me more to the Whole, the Others and Myself, in adventure.
But indeed, I don’t ask about that question. The signs are possibly too obvious.
Anyway, I’ll try.

What about “just for fun!”
You dont ask questions you just do it because you know you have to , otherwise you are like the fruit and will rot for not doing it , what am I doing this for - because its my destiny ! is the answer..and to enjoy the journey ..its not the destination remember its getting there that is the fun part ..Blessings Tania
Dearest Paulo and friends,
Simply said, love is the reason. If you love something, and believe in it with all your heart and soul, the universe will infact conspire to get you what you want- in doings so, you will find a way to solve the how or where of any given sitution.
Even if u don’t believe that the universe can actually conspire- i do realise that there are many individuals out there that are sceptical, you - yourself will find the solution of any problem, you’ll find a how and a where into or out of anything, if you love it, and if you believe, you can. Even if it seems that the whole world is against you, if you believe enough, you can even challege the world, say- bring it on! i’m don’t care what happens, i’ll fight, and i will win, because i know, this is for me! Always remember why you want to do or have something- it will motivate you beyond all odds and you will find a how or a where when it seems impossible.
Thank you for being

Sometimes there is just an impulse.
That’s enough.
Yajna,
Watch out for that;)
What am I doing this for?
I am on a journey, searching for the optimal path just for me.
I read books to get inspired… but when i realize that i am trying to follow another persons path… i get unconfortable and change the direction.
What am I doing this for?
I want to have peace in my soul…
what am I doing this for? Why am I sharing this with you? Who cares? Am I doing this for me or for you or for him or her? or for all of you? And what importance does it have? What would happen if I don’t do it? Would the world stop?
I do it because it’s the next thing on my list of things to do, and, what’s more, I was prompted to do it, and, then, I chose to do it and it makes me feel as if I belong somewhere.
So on the whole we do it in order to be part of the bigger picture.

Agree that this question should always be asked.
And it should always have the same answer.
eu nao sei se quero fazer essa pergunta…porque muitas vezes sabemos a resposta e sabemos que o porquê pode envolver danos.
É bom fazer coisas anestesiado. Se eu tivesse pensado antes de fazer tudo o que ja fiz e soubesse as consequencias desses actos nao tinha feito nem metade mas a minha vida nao teria tido riqueza emocional nenhuma.
