Journey > Destination

We can never get everything we want. All our aspirations will not come to fruition. Even if we fulfill one thing, we will want the next best thing. Sometimes we end up discarding the old to embrace new challenges. So life is never fulfilling, you end up riding the vicious cycle. 

The best times are had during this ride to the goal. The thrill comes from pursuing the goal not the goal itself. It’s always about the journey, not the destination. 

When I play a song you hear, there are hours and hours of practise that went into it. I thoroughly enjoy the learning process. But after I learnt it, the excitement is gone. I want the next song! 

Let’s say you have an important exam next month. Do a little bit everyday. Find a quiet time of the day to study. This is your time. Nobody is allowed to disturb you during this “holy hour.  You’ll finish the exam in flying colours and you’ll look for the next big thing to do. You will really enjoy this journey. 

Connect only with people who really value and respect your time, and the journey is wonderful. It takes a lot to give your time away to someone however small. So choose people who want to bring out the best version of you. Select  people who are your well wishers, and gravitate to where you are appreciated. 

Over the last 65 days, I put my body through a lot of discomfort. It may not be good for my body, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take. I’m thoroughly enjoying this challenge. I got 10 more days to go! 

I finished reading 4 books, in 65 days. But, it was just to get to the habit of reading. But my reading was mindless. I did not retain any information. I’m re reading : The Creative Act, making notes for myself. This makes it more enjoyable. 

To conclude, I’m here, doing my thing. You do your thing. 

Your well wisher, 

Munky
