Sisyphus was a cunning and deceitful king. As punishment, he was condemned to an eternity spent trying to push a boulder over the summit of a mountain.
But here’s the clincher…
JUST when he was about to reach the summit, he’d lose grasp of the boulder and it would roll all the way back down to the bottom of the hill.
And he had to start all over again.
Each time… hoping that he would make it.
Each time… JUST falling short

It's a never-ending cycle of trying to please them, hoping for their approval or love, and then feeling drained and unappreciated. But here’s the difference.
Sisyphus deserved his punishment. YOU DO NOT!
And that's why I want to offer you something that can make a real difference.
