After a wonderful phone chat with my friend Keanu, I've decided that purpose is like a penis. No, really, I can back that statement up!
-Not everyone has one
-Those who have one don't always know what to do with it
-Some people would be happier without one
-Just because you have one, doesn't mean you use it
-Everyone wants to think it's big, but most are just average.
Sound logic, I think.
Keanu asked me how life was going. He's been checking up on me just about daily(and, given the past few weeks, I'm pretty glad about it), but last night was the first time he called. We chatted about things, and he asked me where I was working. But then, he asked me what my career goals were, what I planned to do with life. It kind of stopped me for a moment. I'm a housekeeper at a bed and breakfast, an assistant at a music store, and soon to be a secretary at our local college. I'm pretty happy with my jobs at the moment.
But then I wondered about the difference between contentment and complacency. They're different, to be sure, but how can you tell? I have goals. Not in my career, at least not yet, but I am striving for things.
Maybe that's the difference.
