From Mom and Dad
A common refrain you hear from people who think they are waging a constant war with themselves is that something always comes along.
It is true. Something always comes along.
When I used AOL IM at MCI/Worldcom/Verizon this was my icon:
Many people didn’t understand this and thought I was commenting on the relenting drudgery some folks find themselves dealing with in corporate America. Honestly, it is a commentary on that, but it is also my way of looking at things.
Sisyphus was a king condemned to roll a stone up a hill only to find it rolling back down for eternity.
Me? I look at things like this as an opportunity to always find value in what I am doing. Whether it is pushing the stone up the hill or chasing it down. Understanding the goal of getting it to the top is unattainable forces you to find the value in what you are doing.
This can be said for people who are wondering aimlessly or confused about the direction they have to choose. Going through the motions of life and not finding the value in their actions.
Remember, what appears to be unattainable just might be. The true measure of a person is what they find along the way.
