What is the point in pushing yourselves?

Positive thoughts equal positive future. In order to succeed in life, stop asking yourself why, and instead ask, what else? Sure, it seems pointless sometimes, but in the long run it could decide wether your life ends up as you want it, or it turns out as you didn't. Value opportunities you get, and again, don't ask why you have to do, look for even more to do. Opportunities are the catalysts of life, without them you would be stuck doing the same boring thing for the rest of your life, instead of moving up, or doing something different.

That's why you need to push yourselves :) Simple, quick and straight to the point explanation much? 

Many thanks
