Let's not end up like...

Sisyphus...

The cat in Greek Mythology who had to roll up a huge stone up a
steep hill, just to watch it roll back down, and continue to do it for
eternity.

He was made to do this because Sisyphus wasn't too kind to people. He
would kill, and pretty much take whatever he wanted, without regard to
others...basically a punk.

Sisyphus thought he was clever, but was just a little too big for his
"britches", and continually overstepped his bounds. So after he got a
little too clever, Zues showed him his own form of cleverness by banishing
him to an eternity of frustration.

I was stopped last night...

On my way out, by 3 of our Zappos Athletic Performance team members - Peake, Lauren and Josh.

They challenged me to write today's blog about rainbows, a donkey and
Tom Jones singing in the background? Sometimes we need to accept the challenge, so...

When warm rain has subsided as you are riding on your donkey, and the
beautiful rainbow has appeared overhead, just think of Tom Jones
belting out some sweet tunes as you arrive at the base of the Temple.
Your minions then lift you effortlessly off your donkey and put you on
their shoulders and glide you up the steps of the Temple and set you up
like the Royalty you are - for eternity.

And sometimes when we accept a challenge, it may not turn out a
masterpiece - but the point is, sometimes we just need to accept the
challenge.
