Gone traveling lately?
That's not one of the questions....
When you fly into an airport and walk through the security clearance guy, you hear three questions:
Who are you?
Where are you going?
What is your business there?
Can you hear the beautiful metaphors in that? (also not one of the questions). I believe life is about trying to answer these questions. An ongoing conversation, a long distance chess game that we have to try and work out for ourselves.
Now sure, we can very easily stay surface and say,
"I'm Andrew"
"I'm going to a strip club"
"I'm going to spend dollars on overweight strippers that stole my wallet last Wednesday" (Kidding)
Sorry...jsut had to joke...if I didn't...well I wouldn't be me...but anyways...
I challenge myself daily to try and understand these three questions...but more than understand, I spend time trying to make conversation with them. yes, conversation with them. Like working out, daily attention must be given..
I believe that too many people focus on the end and want the answer, the quick turn around and fix..the interpretation...but that's crap....
"There is no "end" to working out...there is only "to be continued". There is no immediate answer to these questions.
Know that things can be answered with a "to be continued" because that allows continued exploring, conversing, growing and building.
...no blog will ever do them justice....but for you- your ability to continue the conversation should be a daily intention. It should come sometime between brushing your teeth and losing your wallet :)
