A path to success is not paved with good intentions, but with good intentions that are carried out.
I used to think success was finding that one thing that would be the catalyst for all other things in my life to fall into place—the perfect partner, the dream job, the stellar apartment. But there is no snake oil fix for the unpredictability of life. There cannot be one single thing that will make breath in and say, "Ah, there it is, the life I've been searching for," because there are always variables.
Instead, I want to look at the path as a series of adventures, lessons to be learned, experience to dive into head first with eyes wide open. Can't success be the toe-curling, arms-to-the-sky, full-throated rebel yell celebration of the path itself?
I'd say - there is no end-point at all. Everything is the journey itself.
ReplyDeleteI love this. Definitely the journey itself!

Thanks for the reminder, too often I long for the moment when everything will be perfect, knowing very well myself that it is about the journey and not the finish line.
