S. O. S.

Most of us are pretty familiar with the distress signal SOS. If you’re not, let me tell you, it’s a distress signal. There, you’re all caught up. I’m only familiar with distress signals because of movies and television shows. There are different forms of distress signals and in any form they are all used for an emergency when a person or a group of people need to be rescued. I don’t want to bore you too much with this brief history lesson, but stick with me I’m going somewhere with this. I wouldn’t have done all of this work to create a blog if I wasn’t.

SOS officially made its debut when the Titanic was going down in 1908. SOS has been coined to mean “Save Our Ship”, “Save Our Souls”, or “Send Out Succor”. Although there is more to the story of this phrase, I’ll stop here. We’ve seen countless times in movies and television shows people needing to be rescued from a deserted island. Whether it’s comedic or dramatic the acts of desperation are consistent. Seeing the things people would do and become to be rescued or get to a safe place is amazing.

Similar to what I described earlier, people like myself have found ourselves on a deserted island of work, business, relationships, fill in the blank; where there is no purpose, a sense of joy, or peace. I had to do something desperate to be rescued and get to a safe place. I had to put out my own distress signal, my own SOS and go on a Search Of Significance. I invite you to come with me on this journey.
