Pointless is Pointless

by Michael Feeley
Every decision you make falls into one of two categories: it either has meaning, purpose, and helps in some way—or it’s pointless.
Once you see this, everything changes.
We spend so much time on autopilot, doing things because we’ve always done them, because someone expects it, or because we haven’t stopped to ask why. But when you start filtering your choices through this simple lens, the waste becomes obvious.
That obligation you dread? If it serves no real purpose, it’s pointless.
The habit that drains you without giving anything back? Pointless.
The conversation or meeting you think you need to have, even though you know it won’t change anything? Pointless.
The worry that changes nothing? Pointless.
This isn’t about being ruthlessly productive or eliminating joy. Meaning can be found in rest, in connection, in things that feed your soul. Purpose shows up in quiet moments and small acts. Help comes in forms we don’t always recognize immediately.
But pointless is pointless. It’s the stuff that leaves you feeling busy but empty, tired but unaccomplished. It’s energy spent with nothing to show for it—not growth, people who say they will do the work and solve problems and never do, not peace, not progress, not even pleasure or gratitude.
The question isn’t complicated:
Does this matter?
Does this serve something?
Does this help?
Will doing this create change and make a difference?
If the answer is no, you’ve found pointless. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it. You have freedom!
Why waste time on what doesn’t count?
Pointless.
