Today I wanted to share a poem. I wrote this back in November but the message still rings true. I only ask you ponder this today and ask yourself what paths along your journey might you be missing out on, and perhaps more importantly, how can you focus more on enjoying the journey, rather than just focusing on the destination? Because it’s not just about getting there… it’s about all you experience along the way. That includes the people you meet, the places you go, things you see, hear, smell, touch, and the things and people you love, and who love you.
Your Journey
Who knows what
The future might hold?
No one knows
Where each path leads.
The past is never
A good predictor of the future.
Comparing our lives
To our parents’
Doesn’t work either.
Each one of us
Is unique,
With a one-of-a-kind
Mission to fulfill.
Focusing on the journey,
Trying to learn all we can
From wherever each path
Takes us
Is key to finding joy.
Don’t sit idle
By the wayside,
Waiting for someone
To come along
And tell you where to go.
Just like a hike up the mountain,
There are many paths,
Filled with adventure, trials, and rewards
Just waiting
For you to explore.
So stand up!
What are you waiting for?
Go exploring!
Don’t let anyone else
Live your dreams!
