We all like to know where our lives are going.
There’s a societal need to have a destination and get there quickly.
Landing somewhere brings us a sense of security.
We forget this life is a journey. There’s a process we can’t escape.
When we try to escape the process, this only makes it longer and makes us miserable as we push through the discomfort we tried so hard to avoid.
Life doesn’t have a final destination. There’s only a journey to be lived moment by moment.
One can achieve goals, but one goal should lead to another. This is the kind of growth that we get to experience on the paths we walk.
The key is to be open to it.
The journey is not about winning or getting to a final destination. Like a small bud ready to blossom, we can be open to the growth that comes in our daily experiences.
When we accept this mindset and try a little better day by day then we will be guided to the next right step.
Much like the bud that blossoms one pedal at a time, so do our lives and we can too. As long as we remain open to this gradual unfolding of living, being becomes easier…moment by moment.
