remember it's not the destination

My dear friend from college is someone who really challenged me to think of life as a journey and not a destination just got back in touch – I was so goal-driven in college. I was working towards medical school and had to consciously take a break to do what I enjoyed. Which ultimately became the reason I quit that path – I wanted to enjoy my life and not work myself to death.

Anyway, ever since, I just keep this goal as a reminder to continue to seek adventure and enjoy the everyday journey I am on. I’m getting ready for another big adventure and it’s so nice to share that with the old friend who became the catalyst for my change.

I’m usually so goal oriented so this is a tough one for me. Lately I’ve been struggling to discover my goal – the problem is I have no idea where I want to end up. So I’ve been forced to look at my life and start to enjoy my journey – enrich my life day by day and not look so far ahead. It’s a complete change of perspective and I’ve been in a constant state of learning.

I hope I’m on the right track – I’m trying to have a different life.
