Philosophers have pondered the question “what is the meaning of life”

Theologians have argued over that question.

Scientists have prodded all kinds of things looking for the answer to that question.

In quiet times you may have even asked yourself that question.

Guess what?

No one knows the answer.

And to be honest it really is a waste of time thinking about it.

The most important question to ask is “What is in it for me”

Now this question may sound selfish, but it’s not.

It depends on how you ask the question, or the context in how you ask the question.

Get ready, this is going to be corny.

Do you wear that question on your forehead or do you keep it in your heart?

Yep, that was corny.

You can always see the person coming that wears it on their forehead.

They send you messages like “Thanks for …… Now please take a look at ……”

The people that keep it hidden are the ones that truly help you.

They ask you for nothing.

They produce videos on how to do something.

They help you setup a website.

They write informative blog posts that make you think.

They voice audios to help motivate you.

They do these things because they have asked themselves “If I help people what is in it for me”

Philanthropists give publicly to have their names permanently attached to something.

It gives them a sense of immortality.

Others give privately because it makes them feel good.

There is always a selfish reason for our actions, albeit very good reasons.

Not all selfish reasons have to be bad.

The next time you are pondering the meaning to life, just get yourself some popcorn, load up a Monty Python movie and ask yourself what’s in it for me.
