Still, I was miserable and it was becoming unbearable. In the interim, I was trying very hard to perfect the art of faking my way through life and especially through my career. This was actually a couple of years prior to that Thursday staff meeting. Finally, my doctor diagnosed me with depression/anxiety and put me on anti-depressants. However, for some reason I was very unhappy, depressed and, frankly, bored to death! I tried everything I could to find out what was wrong with me. So on the surface, I had everything a man could want in life a successful career, a wonderful family, a two story house, a cruiser (boat) on Lake Travis. I received an exceptional achievement award directly from the CEO for finishing #1 in the company (globally) in my field. I was the Sales & Marketing Manager at a major company where I had worked for 12 years climbing my way up the proverbial corporate ladder. Earlier that day, I spent 10 hours in a staff meeting at work. I’ll admit that it must have been a divine appointment. Yuck! I had never been to a men’s meeting before so you might ask why I attended this one. Yes, thats right, I said a “men’s meeting at my church”. I actually heard it for the first time in October of 2009 at a Thursday night men’s meeting at my church. It truly is the way I plan to live the rest of my life. This quote from Howard Thurman really says it all for me.
