Saturday Self-Study

I was doing some reflecting Friday morning and had a thought……

I don’t know about you, but I’ve often looked at my life as having a destination.

I’ve had goals throughout my life and focused on achieving those goals and thinking, “If I achieved these goals, I would arrive.”

We get so focused on a goal or getting something that we often miss what’s happening along the way.

I’ve found over these past few years, that the beauty happens along the way. Life is happening every minute of every day.

Here’s what I was thinking about Friday morning.

I’m going to stop looking at life as having a destination. There’s no destination in life.

I’m going to start looking at life as one long walk. It’s a long walk with no destination.

Sure, you still have goals and a vision for your future, and all that good stuff, but there’s no destination.

When you reach a goal, it’s just a stop along the walk and then you keep walking.

Don’t get focused on where you’re at right now. If you’re having a bad day, week, month, year, few years, that’s okay, just keep walking.

As long as you keep walking, you’re not going to lose. You’re going to learn some things along the way and continue to grow.

Here are some questions to reflect on:

1) How can you honor where you are today, even if you’re not where you want to be yet?

2) What do you believe you’ll finally feel or have when you arrive? Is it possible to cultivate some of that now?

3) Are you placing your worth or happiness on arriving “there?” If so, what does “there” actually look like?

4) Have you been rushing through life in pursuit of a finish line? What might you be missing?

5) How would your life change if you started viewing life as one long journey and not as having a destination?

Stay positive and take action!
