I heard a story told while attending services at a synagogue and I was struck how much it applies much to what I write in this blog.
So, here's the story: A rabbi was visiting an older congregant.
Out of the blue, she confided to the rabbi, “You know, rabbi, I’ve been thinking a lot about the hereafter.”
The rabbi became concerned. “Have you gotten bad news from your doctor?”
“No, no, no”, the elderly woman chuckled, “nothing like that. It’s just that whenever I walk into a room, I have to stop and think, “What am I here after?”
Laughter ensued from the congregation, mostly from my generation or older who get up, walk into another room and temporarily forget why we walked in there in the first place. I applied it, of course, to job hunting and career building.
