| Burning out -or- The Workaholic Blues |
| 12.13.04 (8:33 pm) [edit] |
My father, quite possibly the reincarnation of one of the three wise men (I like to think that he was the one in the middle), is a huge influence on me. When I found out that he used to play guitar, I picked his old acoustic up and thought "Well, if Dad can, then I can too."
So, when my resident wise man / mechanic has words to offer, I normally pay attention. Which makes my current behavior odd, like the smell of almost-rotten eggs... they can still be good, but are very close to being bad.
He worries about me. I understand this. It would be difficult to watch my son or daughter become so focused on something that I wasn't sure if they'd survive a downfall. Hell, it's difficult even though I'm the one that's doing it. My father's afraid that I'm becoming a workaholic. I'm afraid of that too, Dad.
But here's the thing... I'm not becoming a workaholic. Workaholics tire endlessly for the sense that they LIKE to work. Trust me, that's not my thing. I see this goal, and I know that the harder I work, the closer I'll get to it. Life is a game of priorities. Once I get there, I'll kick back in my mansion in my pool, entertaining the ladies.
No really.
I like to think of what Jesus did in these times. I mean, not to compare what I do to the gift that he gave the world (if you believe that). He knew that he was going to die from the begining. I believe that he prepared for it the whole way.
I'm just preparing. I'm living like I'm going to die.
Hmmm... morbid and slightly depressing.
That's not the angle I wanted.

Ok put another angle on that statement...you are living it to the fullest--no regrets!
