What Is Your WHY?

WHAT IS YOUR WHY???

why do you do the things that you do, the way you do them?
Do you in the name of flexibility, act on impulse or do you at the risk of being stoic, act intentionally, counting your steps all the way?
Life is spontaneous and should be lived therewith. The change making the rounds now, means that one is expected to transform overtime, in order to conform with the new order. If you do not move with the rest of the world, you would be left behind.
Looking critically,however, despite the orbiting of the earth, the atmosphere have always contained oxygen- which we breathe in, and the carbon dioxide, which we emit; the earth's structure has continually being a strata of cloud, air, land and water...better put, biosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere. Has this changed? I strongly doubt.
That been said, I dare say that change is not really constant but relative.
Driving home to our human relationship, and the knowledge that life, though flexible, has some constants; should one remain rigid in one's ways or make a transition withersoever the cookie crumbles?
Must there be a rationale for all our actions or should we keep an open mind and live life in the present, knowing  that the future is pregnant.

Is there always a reason for what and how we do things or are we just living naturally without giving a second thought to the ripple effect of our actions?
There is a maxim- that life has a purpose and should be lived purposely.
No doubt, living purposefully gives satisfaction and drive to live life to the fullest- setting and achieving set goals.
However, on another look at this purposeful living, would it be a life of pretence when one gets into a Character in order to achieve a set goal? This part of the world where I live in, usually concludes that such one is a pretender just because you see inconsistency of character and personality; forgetting the fundamental precepts of survival. In a world that is unpredictable, why would one expect the other to remain the same in personality at all time. Having a reason for your personality changes is then perceived as a character defect.
On this premise, what then is the true meaning of the word Pretence? Purposeful living or pretence, anyhow you view it, they both call for intentional living,,.
Knowledge must be constantly challenged and improved upon overtime, to check it's consistency with the times.
Hear the conclusion of the whole matter- life is complex and ideologies, uniquely dynamic. One should be open to change and let wisdom lead. And as for the whys, the Bible says owe no one any explanations, save Such is life.
