Not So Life-Changing After All
"Aggressively, we all defend the role we play
Regrettably, time's come to send you on your way..."
~ the Killers' Exitlude
The past month was fraught with sickness, bowling and work complications. Busy trying to defend aggressively the multi-roles I play at different facets of my life. It's not so life-changing after all (see preceding post).
My dear cousin Yun said at last gathering that we don't have a choice when it comes to working late. My dear cousin Bernard said he left work in time with spares to listen to MP3 sermons. Do we have a choice? Or do we already pre-choose what we want from our lives?
I've been thinking about my career recently - choices of rotation vs chances of promotion etc and it's getting me all fussed up. Do I have a choice? Or has "time come to send me on my way"?
I look to my bowling to vent my frustrations, my wife/children to ease my heartaches and my God to indeed send me on my way so that I don't need to think so much.
