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.

Yes, the journey matters. But it also feels good to “arrive.”

For me, the joy of “having arrived” often lasts a long time. I’m glad to have had the journey, but journeys aren’t always joyful! Often they’re stressful, painful, or difficult. But once I arrive at my desired destination, it makes the journey feel worthwhile.

I’m not sure it’s always healthy to “try to find the joy in every journey.” Some journeys suck! But it sure is nice to arrive somewhere better.

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

If so, wouldn’t it be wise to choose destination “now”? :)

I understand the “zen-ness” of that; but the actual destination matters quite a bit. If you’re in a prison, you can make the best of your circumstances but that should never dissuade you from trying to get out.

Good point. I understand your sentiment. Great to have goals, but a desire of the future can make us miss the present. It’s a balance, of course

I definitely agree that “the desire of the future can make us miss the present.” In some ways, that’s why I like “enjoying the destination.” It feels like the ultimate expression of “enjoying where you are.”
