Your Journey

"It's not about the Destination,
It's about the Journey"

Often in life, we are concerned with where we are going. We are so concerned that we make plans, do everything possible to get there. Often in life, we don't get there and we are left feeling disappointed,  as if we have failed. Often in life, we do get there and we become so consumed in our success that we forget where we started.

At the end of the day, where ever we ended up being along our path, we need to reflect on our journey for the journey is the most important part. Sometimes telling a girl how you feel and that courage it took is more important than the outcome. All those ended relationships sometimes feel like a waste of time but they are not because in every single one, you took something away from it. You learned something valuable, be it about life or be it about yourself. At the end of the day, the journey was more important that the destination.

Having goals and steps to get there is so important in life. It gives you direction. Some people get to achieve their goals, some people are still trying. Whether you reach your goal or not, what you learn along the way enriches your soul as you learn all the different facets of yourself. A lot of the time, coming straight out of school, people are unsure of their career path. They may choose one and change along the way because while they chose a destination, they realised along their journey that this is not the path best suited for them and so they chose another. The journey is where you learn what you really want and what you really need. On this journey, you are constantly learning.

I have a song I'd like to share with you about life's journey:

It's hard.
It's difficult.
Seems impossible.
Seems dark and cold.

You walk along this road
You meet people as life unfolds
You overcome your deepest fears
and learn to fight away the tears

Now you feel that the end has come
And everything was for nothing
But it's not about the destination
It's about the journey

The journey teaches you tricks
You do things you never thought you could do
And along the way your heart fixes
And life seems clearer now

Now you feel that the end has come
And everything was for something
because it's not about the destination
It's about the journey

And as the journey continues
So do your hopes and dreams
Because even when things fall apart
It falls into place for better things

I hope that reading this helps you to see that yes at some point, you don't reach certain destinations but that is not the point. It is the experiences along that path that count. Reflect on those rather than the outcome because at the end of the day, the outcome doesn't matter.
