What's Impossible?

Terrific post over on the Occupational Adventure blog talking about "sailing" through life. Sometimes I complain about how busy I am, working, being a father, husband, citizen etc... but then get jolted back by quotes like these: "The secret of life is to have a task, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for your whole life. And the most important thing is: It must be something you cannot possibly do." ~ Henry Moore My business isn't busy work - it's my life! The choices I make daily affect the direction I'm going in - and I get to make the choices that set me on my way. The quote of course begs the question - what is my task? What's yours?
