The Voice Message

You arrive home at the end of a tiring work week. You kick off your shoes into the closet, throw your coat over a chair, and then collapse onto the couch. You feel uninspired to cook. You’re not even really hungry. You roll the back of your head over the top of the couch to massage your aching neck. When your gaze turns toward the side table, you push yourself up to sitting. There’s a flashing light on your phone indicating you have a voice message. You never have any messages. You lean over and hit the “play” button:

...

Hello, you may not have heard my voice in a really long time, but I’ve never stopped hearing yours. Even when you think no one is listening, I hear your cries of frustration, your sighs of boredom, your hushed whispers pleading for something “more”. 

You should know that your heart’s yearning for more joyful work has been heard and already answered. That your desire for a more meaningful life, already fulfilled. Your job now is to make the journey to realize it for yourself. 

You can start your journey tonight by making your way to the Been Here Before Pub. There will be some very special guests in attendance you will want to meet.

Oh, and by the way, this is your inner being calling. Call me back, would you?

...

Beep!

After listening to the message, you decide to:

Heed the call of your inner being and go out
Ignore the call and stay home to order in
