Here we are at the beginning of another work week and another Quote of the Day. When I first began trying to make changes in my life I was solely concerned with the outcome to any effort or action. When my journey began the worst thing I can fathom was to fail. I believed that my last step would be to cross the finish line and make it to the destination I had predestined my finish line. Over time I have begun to realize that the journey is not about the destination. It is not about the hurdles I cross. It is not about having to make more than 1 attempt to accomplish the next step. The goal is to keep taking steps. If the last step took me closer to my goal than I try to build on that momentum. If my last step didn’t take me past my hurdle than what are the lessons I need to learn to try again with my next step. The living, the changing, the importance is in the effort to keep putting one foot in front of the other and to keep pushing towards that next horizon, that next success, that next stumble. The point is to grown and evolve so that the person I am today is capable of things who I was yesterday wasn’t. The direction is to be more capable tomorrow to do things that today I can not. The journey is the point. The self discovery is the point. The pursuit of making yourself the best version of you is the point. It is not about what path that takes, it is not about what hurdles that leads you over. It is not about how quickly you get there. The point is to keep trying. It isn’t fast, it isn’t easy but you are worth the effort. Have a blessed day, y’all! Stay safe, stay warm and enjoy another beautiful day.
