Maybe sheetrocking wasn't one of Sully's favorite jobs, but like most physical labor, there was a rhythm to it that you could find if you cared to look, and once you found this rhythm it'd get you through a morning. Rhythm was what Sully had counted on over the long years - that and the wisdom to understand that no job, no matter how thankless or stupid or backbreaking, could not be gotten through. The clock moved if you let it.
Sully may not have loved sheetrocking, but he recognized that physical labor has its own steady rhythm if one is willing to notice it. Embracing this rhythm allowed him to endure the mundane aspects of work, helping him navigate through each morning. Over the years, he learned that perseverance and acceptance of life's challenges were essential, no matter how difficult or unappreciated the task might be.
For Sully, the wisdom gained from these experiences became invaluable. Understanding that time passes while you maintain focus on your responsibilities enabled him to tackle even the toughest jobs. This perspective allowed him to find meaning and purpose in his work, simply by recognizing the unchanging passage of time and the reassuring cadence that often accompanies hard labor.
