Do you mind digging ditches?<\/p>\n

“Not if the pay is good.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Alright, then dig this ditch. It should take a few days.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“OK, the ditch is dug.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Do you want more work?<\/p>\n

“Sure.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Then fill up the ditch.<\/p>\n

“Are you sure?”<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes.<\/p>\n

“OK, it’s your money.”<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(A few days later) “OK, that’s done, now what.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Dig it up again.<\/p>\n

“What?!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Do you want the job or not?<\/p>\n

“Well, sure, but this is silly. All I’m doing is digging and filling the same<\/strong> ditch over and over.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So why say this.<\/p>\n

Our work may seem repetitive but we see it as digging deeper \/ longer.<\/p>\n

Not as dig, refill, dig, refill, etc.<\/p>\n

Whatever you’re doing in life has meaning to you or you would not be doing it.<\/p>\n

Then again, maybe it used<\/em><\/strong> to have meaning yet you find yourself still doing it.<\/p>\n

Hmmm, review time?<\/p>\n
