Me Minion

The other night I laughed when Sifu Freitag asked me to be her minion. I said sure, whatever you need.

In my mind how easy that would be, just carry out tasks as they are given to you. That would be great.
I imagine minion work as mindless tasks to serve the greater purpose, but then I thought more about it.
Even the most minuscule task supports something of a greater value, without quality at the bottom end  something along the way suffers. It may not be significant enough to be noticed and maybe strengths in other areas can manage to compensate but you are still going to hold back the full potential of what could have been if all effort was not put forth in a mindful way.
Even the minion needs to make decisions about the task in front of them. Its the difference between a good widget or the best widget ever of all times!
