I saw an image on a friends blog this morning, that really hit me.  Check out this photo:

I realize this is meant to be a humorous picture, but if you think about it, how accurate is it going to be for a lot of people?  I mean, sure, you could add a couple of more frames, add a wife, maybe a kid, but that still wouldn’t change the main idea.  What hits me about that picture is that it’s a pure mediocre life.  It’s a meaningless life.  That really is a scary thought.  I feel like I wake up some days and I’m a few years older.  My question is, is this life fine with anyone, or does everyone fear this?

I’m not saying I want to change the world, change people, influence world affairs.  I’m talking about meaning for oneself.  I just want to be content with what I’m doing.  I think everyone wants to be satisfied, but the question is, are some people fine with the kind of life in those seven steps?  Or is everyone on a journey to find a life with purpose?
