There Is Treasure!
You asked your boss what you should do, and he showed you your work station.
Maybe the first couple weeks, it was kind of intimidating. But after than, it started to become routine.
After that, maybe pretty boring. Trading time for a paycheck.
Now, if you’re out of work, this may sound like a dream come true.
But if you’ve ever been in this position, it can make the days last a long, long time.
Especially if you go home every night, eat the same foods, watch the same TV shows.
Sure, if you’ve got kids, that’s a different story. Watching and helping them grow up can make even the most horrible job doable.
But even then it can feel like you’re stuck in a hopeless rut that will never end.
What if life were like that?
What if some angel or spirit came down from the heavens, and explained everything to you?
And after understanding it, life itself became as boring and unimaginative as that factory job.
That would most definitely suck.
One of the best things in life is looking forward to something. Especially something you’ve got to make or do, and you aren’t quite sure how it’s going to turn out.
Maybe going to a vacation spot for the first time, or going on a date with somebody for the first time.
If you’ve got a uni degree, that feeling of first leaving home to study is a pretty exciting adventure. Or if you’ve moved to a new city for a new job. Or even moving into a new apartment. (What will the neighbors be like?)
That excitement that’s kind of mix of happiness, nervousness, and a bit of anxiety.
THAT is the stuff of life.
We were meant to be explorers. Not necessarily of the world, but of our own capabilities and skills.
Of relationships, new and old.
You’ve got greatness within you. And no matter how much you discover, there’s always more.
What will you discover next?
