Nothing in life is stagnant and no matter where we are now, we are always on our way to somewhere else. Sometimes it’s a physical change of location but often it’s a change in our thinking or situation. The journey as we travel teaches us many things and we may embrace them as they come. Sometimes we hear people say it’s not the destination that counts, but the journey. In some ways that’s true. The journey along the way is what molds us and helps us become the people we want to be. But the destination is important. It does us no good to travel around for years on end and never reach a goal. If we want to be successful we must keep the destination we are seeking forefront in our focus and purposefully move toward it. Traveling through our lives with no goal in mind will only take us from place to place. If we don’t choose the destinations we desire, life will provide them for us and where we end up may not be where we want to go. It’s like taking a trip to the grocery store with no idea of what we want to buy. There are endless choices and we can simply go through the aisles throwing things in the cart. Without thinking we may get some things we can use but chances are we’ll end up with various items we don’t want that will be wasted. We can define where we want to go and then move forward toward the goal. The journey will teach us many things and will enrich our lives and when we reach the chosen destination we will find happiness. We can live our lives any way we want to. When we live them on purpose headed in the direction we most want to travel we will find great satisfaction at the end of the journey. By defining our destination and focusing on moving toward it we will find great success and have the lives we want the most.
Many people may have opinions about what we should be doing or where we should be headed. There are countless interpretations about life and everyone has their own ideas. What works for one will not necessarily work for someone else. We can listen to all the advice we get and evaluate every suggestion that comes but nobody knows us better than we know ourselves. We have all the wisdom we need to decide what we want to do and choose the road ahead that takes us exactly where we want to go.
If we aren’t sure about what we want to accomplish we may simply move through our lives on auto-pilot. Auto-pilot is easy and requires no thought. Of course, if we don’t determine where we’re headed we may go nowhere or end up in a place that doesn’t work for us. We know what we want and with careful thought and determination we can achieve it, whatever it is. We can have the lives we dream about. We need only be willing to do what is needed to get there.
Today if you’ve been coasting through your days letting things unroll on their own and haven’t reached any destination you desire, take control. You have all the power you need to create the life you want. Every blessing is there for you and nothing is out of reach. Choose the road forward and move toward your goals. All your dreams are waiting to come true. Be purposeful, reach them and make them a reality.
