It's the journey

How many times have you heard the people in your life declare, "I'll be happy as soon as -----(fill in the blank)----."?!

Like, "I'll be happy when I get my driver's license."

Or, "I can't wait til I graduate from school."

Or, "I'll be glad when I get that promotion at work."

Etc., etc., etc.

Just a gentle reminder, folks: Sometimes the journey is as important as the destination.

Go ahead and set admirable goals, and work to achieve them.

But, that doesn't mean you have to forego happiness in the mean time.

I guess that's just my overly verbose way of saying, "Remember to stop and smell the roses."

Nuff preachin.
