It’s Always About The Journey

I used to cringe whenever someone tell me that.
I mean, isn’t life about achieving your goals, reaching your destination, becoming filthy rich and taking over the world?
What’s with this it’s-all-about-the-journey nonsense?

But think about it…
If life is a journey everyone is taking; with the same end-destination — death. Isn’t the journey itself what really matters?
If goals are side-quests along the way on this journey, shouldn’t you enjoy the process of achieving them? Otherwise, why waste time doing them in the first place?
If you skipped all the process of the journey, will your destination still hold meaning for you?
If you suffered and totally hated what you’re doing for 99% of your journey only to reach that last summit. Is it worth it?
Not to mention, you might end your journey abruptly at any time. Ask yourself this; if your life ended today — did you live a fulfilling life, tasted what’s it’s like to be alive or at the very least, had helluva a good time?!

I’ve always believed that at the end of the day, what you bring away with you is your memories. Not your huge paycheck or the shiny car.
And the way to make memories is to experience life.
Go out there and learn new things, try new things, find what you love, find who you love and then share it with the world.
Make merry.
After all, it’s always about the journey.
