Nother Day Nother Dollar

What is this grind really about?  Do you ever find yourself asking that question.  I guess it could be summed up as the meaning of life.  For many men and women, me included, there comes a time and a place where there must be something more, some greater purpose for us in this world.  For me, I am still looking for the big bang fall from the sky tell me what its all about.

I do know that I have found a home as a teacher of sorts.  Perhaps not a teacher of math, sciences, or history, but a teacher of people in the prospect of helping people.  You may ask how that comes about.  It comes about purely by happenstance. 

A few years ago when I was building homes, I found that it became such a grind.  Now don't get me wrong, I know that I was a good solid builder and that produced a quality home that my clients could be proud of.  Is that and was that enough?

It is referred to as the midlife crisis by old people....of which I am not old, but am I old enough to be at that cross roads of starting to think about legacy.  Perhaps that is what that crisis is really about.  I can tell you, when I began to question myself and my purpose, it provided an avenue of creativity that was stagnate or to be honest with you, probably was never there to begin with.  I have always been a do it just good enough to win. 

That is sad to say, but I can tell you, whether it was sports, school, career, I have always been blessed with the ability to rise to the top with minimal efforts.  I wonder if passion for something would shift me out of drive into overdrive, or even better hyperdrive.
