Define Yourself


Two years ago I lived in Phuket, Thailand for about six weeks.  As I walked through the manicured lawns of our ocean side resort, the Indigo Pearl, I noticed a gardener.  He was wearing a black shirt with a white emblem of a garden hoe on the front of the shirt.  This emblem signified he was a gardener, the way a cocktail glass would symbolize a bartender.  He appeared happy and humble.  I realized in that moment that I couldn't even pretend to know my chosen occupation, my calling, my purpose.  I wondered what symbol defines me.  What insignia would you bear, if everyone was forced to wear their job on their chest?
