I’m not sure I buy the saying: “It’s the journey, not the destination.” Destinations matter! Life is a series of destinations. You pick a destination. You journey towards it. You arrive. And, sometimes, you leave.

What matters is *what you do when you arrive at your destination.* That’s where the living begins.

Sometimes you need to travel to Mordor, save Middle-earth, and come home again. And once you’re home, you start living again: you eat a second breakfast, tend your garden, and smoke your pipe. The reason you have the journey is to arrive so you can start living.

If you’re too satisfied with the journey, you could find yourself on a journey with no end. College is great, but do you want to be in college for the rest of your life? Dating a bunch of people is fine, but you might enjoy settling down with one person.

For me it's about how you respond to those sucky parts of the journey. You can escape the current step and focus on the destination, but that's resisting reality. Or you can deeply feel the sucky moment - that's experiencing the rich reality of life
. That's "finding the joy" -
Gotcha. For me, it’s more helpful to label that as “finding meaning in difficult times.” That meaning has definitely given me the will to persist when things are hard. (Although, sometimes “persisting” has meant changing my destination)
