Life is a Journey
One of my favorite sayings is “Life is not a destination, it’s a journey, enjoy the ride”. This means to not derive pleasure only from your ultimate goal, like a college diploma, but also enjoy college. 🤔
It is the journey which is full of memories, adventures and fun. Perhaps some sadness also, but it is said “It is the sad times which make us enjoy the glad times”.🥳🥰🤣
In keeping with the theme of the journey, life is full of beautiful and exciting things to look at, listen to, smell or taste or feel. We should enjoy the scenery, the meals, the music, the architecture and the people we meet along the way. 🌅🏕🎠🏖🏄🏻♂️
If we just focus on the college diploma, we miss out on the college experience. The friends, the sports, the music the variety of people we meet, languages we hear and things we learn.
These are meant to be shared experiences and all meant to be savored. We sometimes focus to heavily on the finish line; the attainment of our ultimate goals.
It is the journey, each fun filled or interesting step along the way that we should enjoy. We should never forget to enjoy our progress, our challenges and small successes along the journey. It will be filled at times with joy and merriment, so dance, sing and enjoy.
These times are like good food and fine wine, they should be chewed slowly, savored and enjoyed.
In short, life is a journey, enjoy the ride.
