I recently read this int he book OVERACHIEVEMENT by John Elliot Ph.D.
“The destination is not the point; the journey is what the greatest performers love. And they go after it with an intensity that most view as nuts, or even irresponsible.”
Are you enjoying your journey? Or are you on a treadmill trying to get to a destination your not sure you will like? Have you even realized what is around you? People, places, experiences.
Our society needs to realize our journey is much more valuable than just reaching a destination. I forget this many times running from work to practice to cooking dinner to getting the kids homework done, to getting them ready for bed. My wife does this as well. I’m tired just writing this.
However, every now and then, I get the 2 X 4 to the head and see the real value of spending time with the kids and my wife. As I get older, I remind myself of the value of the journey everyday, so I don’t get stressed by daily activities and tasks that may need to be done.
Let’s remember to have a positive perspective in our lives. Enjoy the journey to the destination.
