chasing rabbits

Imagine a racing greyhound named Cash. One warm summer evening, Cash sits outside on the front porch and discusses the future with his owner. The duo is world-famous and financially stable from the payouts of many big races.

Between memories, Cash drops a bombshell and says, “I have made a decision. I have decided that I cannot race anymore. My career is finished!”

His startled owner queries, “I must not have heard you correctly Cash, are you too old to race?”

“No,” Cash replies, “I still have some race left in me.”

“Well, do I mistreat you?” asks the owner.

“No, no, you’ve always treated me wonderfully,” answers Cash.

“Then why?” wonders the owner - still in shock - “Why would you give up on our chance to be rich and famous . . .”

Cash cuts her off in mid sentence and makes a simple, yet profound statement: “After running and running and running all of these years, I finally realized that the rabbits I’ve been chasing all my life are fake and I don’t want to race anymore."


*do you chase real rabbits (contentment, relationships, charity)? or do you chase wealth, popularity, attractiveness? what do you chase and why?
