To travel is better than to arrive.

"Some famous guy once said, 'To travel is better than to arrive'. and I was like 'What!?' Well, because I used to think that there was only one path to take to where you wanna get to be in life.  But if you choose that one path, that does not mean you have to abandon all the others.  I realized that it is actually what happens along the way that counts.  The stumbles or the falls.  The friendships.  It is the journey.  Not the destination.  You just gotta -I guess- trust the future will work itself out like it is supposed to."
-Moose (Adam G. Sevani)


Sometimes the journey is not what we expect.  However, it is the knowledge we gain, the people we meet, and the mistakes we learn from that gets us to where we want to be in life.

When we just have the destination in mind it skews the direction we want to go in and the way we ultimately perceive things.  By only seeing the destination in mind we do not realize the obstacles we are going to have to go through to get there.  I think this quote truly defines that we will not get anywhere in life without having to work hard for whatever it is we want to achieve or where we want to get.  We WILL have to work hard and put in the effort to learn.  We WILL meet people, make friendships, and build relationship-some that last and some that do not, unfortunately.  And we WILL make mistakes.  With those mistakes and failures we will have to learn to pick ourselves back up.

Also, do not take the simple things for granted.  Every day we are fortunate enough to just take a breathe of fresh air.  A lot of us do not think about the lives we live on a daily basis.  Sometimes we even think our blessed lives are miserable.  We do not realize that there are kids and families around the world who barely make $1 a day, do not have food on the table, do not even have a table, and there main focus is survival. We are so caught up about the way we look and what others may think about us when in reality it does not matter.  We often think too much about the future and what is up ahead than just enjoying now.

What makes life so precious?  It is the journey we go through.  What we experience and what we gain from those experiences while headed towards the destination.  The end result.
