What do you want? This seems like such a basic question yet it is chok-a-blok loaded with connotations. Looking at the world with my continual wonder (or drunken haze ;)), I can’t help but realize that VERY few people know the answer to this question. That is why the boat drinks (tribute to the Great White Shank) keep coming!! Oh, don’t get me wrong: ‘eternal peace and happiness’ iS an excellent answer but how can one possibly begin to measure that outcome. Is it good enough to not measure? To not really care about the outcome, but to just strive for it? Are we fixated with ‘measurable outcomes’ these days? Can’t we just ‘be excellent to each other’ and leave it at that?
Well, in some cases maybe, but if you don’t know what you want, how can anyone else on the planet ever help you in achieving such a want or desire. Figure it out. Write it down. Peer in to your soul for answers, because the answers are there. Lots of us just float through life with few big plans; few ideas of grandeur, but if you really want to achieve you gotta revisit that notion. In your work life, your sporting life, your relationship life, if people and teams within that realm KNOW what you want, chances are that they will help and support you in achieving it. Not all people suck…sometimes they even try to lower your handicap. 🙂 (and buy you boat drinks!!)
Great post, Kerry. My friend good friend Dona will be quick to point out two things: 1) the joy of seeing someone ruminate out loud about things spiritual in nature, and 2) Chalk up another post that mentions either alcohol or boat drinks. On both scores, you’ve done yourself well. Thanks!
