"The journey is the treasure." ~ Lloyd Alexander
How easy it is to forget that reality; what a difference that lapse makes in our lives.
When we keep our eye on the goal instead of the journey, our path is littered with "not there yets" & "how much longers"; when we focus on the destination, we can be disappointed once we get there - it's not this enough or that, doesn't make us feel different enough or whatever it was we expected to feel once we arrived.
But when we invest in the journey, in seeing all that is around us as we move forward, we've already become richer wiser MORE just by taking the steps to get there, can appreciate reaching the destination because we were awake & aware throughout the time spent getting to arrival.
We need to reach goals. The journey is validated by reaching its endpoint - then deciding on another & plotting the route to that new destination.
"The journey is in the treasure." Bon voyage!
