On A Sirius Note...

I am a voracious reader of news stories and articles for two reasons. First, I like to stay in touch with the world around me. Second, one never knows where they will find a nugget of profound wisdom.

I found one such nugget today as I was reading a Reuters story about vacations. In it, a person was quoted as saying, “[...]there are graveyards full of indispensible people.”

Think about that for a moment...

Go ahead, I’ll wait...

OK, now that we have all had a few seconds, let's talk about it. I don't know about you but I often blast through my day, whether at work or at home, feeling obligated to get as much work done as possible. I do this because I assume I am indispensible – I am the only one who can do what I do. And I know I am not the only person who suffers from that type of arrogance.

After reading that quote, I couldn't help but wonder how many people currently residing in a casket felt the same way? A great many of them, would be my guess. Since they are dead I assume they are no longer working. (Except for a few industrious souls who continue to make money from the grave like Biggie Smalls and Michael Jackson!) Yet the world goes on, work continues, and advancements are made every day.

There are graveyards full of indispensible people.

I typed that out, printed it and hung it on my wall today as a reminder that I am not indispensible, irreplaceable, or the one-and-only of anything. I read that saying a few times and felt as though a weight was lifted from me. Then I took the afternoon off (drawing from an ever growing pool of unused vacation time) knowing that everything would be OK in my absence.

I hope your day was as pleasant as mine.

Plenty of time for nookie, but no one to spend it with.
