Without it you can't have a self.

Action helps you think and raises your self-esteem. Good luck happens when you're in action. Ask yourself, Does this go toward or away from what I want?

Every time you worry that you could get trapped in some kind of work you don't care about, you're dealing with the problem of meaningfulness.
