Searching for Something


There is a song, a fragment of which keeps repeating in my head because it strikes a chord within me:
"All my life I've been searching for something..." The song continues: "...Done, done and on to the next one! Done, done and on to the next one!" It's silly how powerful those words are to me. I have a goal. I know that. I have a dream. I have a plan. Sometimes, though I feel like I am looking for something and I don't quite know what. I have lots of intermediate goals, big plans, important things I want do with my life. Yet if you asked me what is the single most important thing I want to do "when I grow up", the only thing I could tell you is "Succeed!" The thing that gives me focus, the thing that keeps me awake at night in bed, that thing which gives me the drive to succeed, is that I know I must.
So I am "done, done and on to the next one!"
