It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. I only understood this in the last couple of years.
I find it fascinating that when you set a daunting goal, you don’t always know which exact path you will take in getting there. Often times the goal itself evolves, so really you are always in the middle of something. Even when you eventually complete the goal, the path you took getting there was unlike what you ever thought it would be.
Everyone is forced to adapt whether they like it or not, each week there are different challenges. All you can control is how you react to them. This concept of always in the middle of something is largely what takes up most of your time so why not enjoy it.
The process is all embracing, it can consume if you let it or it can liberate you. The best part is you have a choice.
