end many of my articles with the saying, “Isn’t it all about what we learn on the journey than what’s at the end of the road? But many of us are so busy frantically trying to get to the end of the road or “there”, that we totally miss the journey. What I’ve come to realize, and then sometimes forget, is that there is no “there”. It doesn’t exist. Because when you finally get “there” in one area of your life, you’ll just create a new “there” that is farther out of reach then the original “there”. It’s what we do. Enjoying the journey is a hard thing to do for
many people. We’re so consumed with figuring out how we’re going to get there, what is it going to take, how much is it going to cost, how much money we’ll make, when is it going to happen?
How can you possibly enjoy the process with all of these things to think and worry about? The key is allowing stillness and meditation into your life. When you quiet the mind, you are able to see the beauty in the process of where you have been, where you are now and where you are going. You may even be able to see that you have made tremendous progress towards a goal or a dream that previously was hidden to you because you were so caught up in the day to day minutia of getting there. This is when it becomes critical for you to stop and smell the flowers, so to speak. If you are not able to see the progress, you will become frustrated and critical of yourself for not accomplishing your goal fast enough. Taking the time to meditate and be quiet will allow you to see the bigger picture and feel good about how far you have come. For me, a great experience was taking a three day silent retreat. Not only did it help to ground me and open me up to new possibili- ties and visions for my life, but it created the space for me to really examine how far I had come in the last few years. I was able to ac- knowledge my accomplishments and I felt really good about where I was on the journey. The clarity and insight that I received after all the distractions fell away was priceless. Don’t wait until most of your life has passed by to start enjoying the journey. It’s all part of the grand scheme of why we each are here in this lifetime. In health and happiness,
