variation of the Greek mythological story of Sisyphus illustrates how to transform adversity into an enjoyable challenge. Sisyphus was caught eavesdropping on the gods and they became very upset with this type of mortal behavior. As punishment for his inappropriate action, the gods decreed that Sisyphus would have to push a large rock up a steep hill until he reached the top for all eternity. Sisyphus could never reach the top because the weight of the rock would overcome him and roll back down to the bottom of the hill. Then he would perpetually begin the process all over again.

However, Sisyphus was very intelligent and he knew that if he enjoyed this eternal challenge, the sentence would go by much more quickly. Sisyphus decided he would take a different approach each time he pushed the rock up the hill. The first time he got a feel for what the rock and hill were like. The next time he went as fast as he could. The third time he tried to see how gracefully he could push the rock, the fourth time, he moved at a very slow pace, etc. etc. etc.
