Like anyone else I get cranky sometimes. I get tired, frustrated and worn out. Like anyone else, I have good days and bad days. Days where I have fun and days where I don't have fun. I have weeks where I get rubbed the wrong way one too many times by too many people and then I
go off. I usually manage to find my even keel again after some decompression time.
Yesterday, I took a day for decompression and it was exactly what I needed.
I find that there are no short answers to life's big questions. There is always the Yin and Yang. People of greatness understand this, and people of understanding have a mastery. In every choice there is always some positive and some negative. Work is no exception. The key to the big questions is foresight. What will it mean when it is all done? Only once it has ceased can we understand the worth of something; everything on this earth ceases. You have to be able to visualize the end to understand the worth. Questions like "are you happy in your job" are temporally inadequate. It only considers
the now.
The now is vapor and vanishes as quickly as it comes. The question that begs to be answered is "will you be happy in your job after 50 years?" Once put in perspective, the answer is clear.
