I was talking with Rocco the other day and mentioned this blog as well as my fascination with things that just endure…. and my name. I like to think sometimes at different points in our life, we’re either a calm or raging ocean bashing ourselves on the rocks relentlessly or sometimes we’re just the rocks taking a beating standing up to the chaos. If you’re the rock, you endure and support, if you’re the rock, you can be a foundation. (If you’re a round rock, you can keep Sisyphus from being successful unless you’re the hill he’s rolling the rock up!) What does that mean exactly? I don’t know…. but I’m searching for an answer. I do know I’ve been the rock and I’ve been the chaos and witnessed the damage the chaos can do.
An old friend of mine shared this nugget : https://youtu.be/Bg_Q7KYWG1g
It’s a worthwhile 10 minutes – the takeaway for me is when you hit the bottom, at least then you have a firm foundation to build from again, so like Sisyphus, you get up, re-evaluate, make sure everything works as it should, making adjustments for what you just learned moving forward however you’re able. Stand up – endure – move forward. With new knowledge and purpose.
Begin Again.
Hoping to take my own advice… stay salty my friends.
