In the 1969 comedy, Support Your Local Sheriff, James Garner becomes the sheriff of the small town where he plans to prospect for gold. Viewing the position as temporary, from the start, he repeatedly tells people, “Basically, I’m on my way to Australia.”
Garner is no closer to reaching Australia when the movie ends, though he continues to claim it is his destination. Perpetually “on the way,” he sees his present situation as impermanent, yet he makes no real progress toward reaching his goal.
Are you perpetually on your way to somewhere else? How will you know when you get there?
