Life is not a spectator sport.

 

There are two ways we spend our work days.

  • driven to get ahead, always chasing the prize of more
  • going through the motions, trying to avoid painfully watching the clock

Unfathomable what it would be like in this economy to be doing something we don’t love to do.

Tough enough when we are doing daily work transforming lives.

Should be seeing the NYC skyline soon. Been in the cab 40 minutes so far.

Heading to Times Square.

To do work that matters.

Just entered midtown tunnel.

Figuring Mannhatten is at the other end.

Pretty exciting actually.

Sure, the location, but more importantly, the work that gets to be performed.
