WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

JUST THINKING: 

What am I doing here?  This is the question many people ask themselves when reality has done on them or when they meet with their eternal destination. The truth is most of us have asked ourselves this same question at one time or the other. You see yourself in the midst of people, place, situations that your upbringing,  mindset,  belief system,  value system,  and so on, do not flow with and you ask yourself "what am I doing here". The above question also means "why am I here"?

Now that you have realized where you are,  the first thing you need to do is to retrace your steps and maybe leave the scene or better still, improve or change the situation, people or place you have found yourself in.

When you realize and ask yourself,  "what am I doing here", it could help you leave that place or remain to change the place. All of it depends on you. 

Also, If you think that  " I should not be here, but I am here", it is a sign of who you really are. You should not be in that company,  that situation,  that health state but you are there.  You may not be able to change that situation immediately but you can change your actions, your mindset and how you stay composed in that situation. You can learn or decide to live with that decision(s) that got you there. 

Hell is real but most people do not think about it and they do things with reckless abandon that will take them there.  Fire burns and hurts but people still play with it. Also, a cloth may be very tight or a pair of shoes may not be your size,  but you just want to wear them because they look fine.  But when the pains set in,  you will ask yourself "why did I wear it"?

1 Kings 19:13 says,  "So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

Most times when we are asked or when we ask ourselves that question "what am I doing here", we are in the wrong place,  environment and situations.  So, your decisions and actions you take consciously and unconsciously today determines "Why am I here or What am I doing here "?  

This could be a regrettable relationship, career choice, house, environment, difficult situations, and so on. But you should not remain in that state of pain and regret. Instead retrace your steps, stand up and move on from there. The mistakes have been made but you are not a mistake. The actions that led you there are not you. So, dust yourself up and move on. You can make "What Am I Doing Here" to be a spring board to get out of the mess and become better or you can decide to blame yourself, others, and the situation while you keep drowning in the mud. The choice is yours for the taking.
