Harry Emerson Fosdick
For many of us life is about running away from something. Most people fell into their job because they had a friend who worked there or it became available when they were looking. Many people had a summer job which extended into a part time job and then became full time. Marriage, followed by kids and a mortgage conspired into making that job a necessity because those bills needed paying. Years followed years and now it is too late. Trapped. The only escape... retirement. Get away from it all.
I have just finished reading the autobiography of Ted Rogers, cable and media mogul. Talk about running to something. He was driven throughout his life to return to his family the business that was "taken" from him. Maybe too driven but he was running towards something as almost all successful people are.
So, are you running from something or are you running to something?
Let us know about you. Which reminds me of the quote:
The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.
Erma Bombeck
