It seems that as a culture we are all to focused on the completion of the goal and very little concern goes to the path that will take us to that completion. I have recently gone through many experiences where I have finally realized the true importance of seeing the benefits and the learning experiences that the journey not the final destination affords us and I am excited to see you experiencing these same revelations, for it seems to me that once we wholly embrace this ideal that every day is not so much about accomplishing every goal we set but taking steps towards those goals and learning and growing along the way. Best of luck with all of your walks and journeys. I think that all too often we lose sight of the proverbial trees for the forests and not the other way around.
