Do you know which way you are headed today?
Better yet, do you know where you are trying to get to?
If you don’t know your destination, you will never get there.
Traveling Without a Destination
You go to work. You go home. And go to work again. And repeat.
Yet, you never get anywhere.
No closer to your dreams. Perhaps, even farther from your true passions.
“The first step in getting where you are going is knowing your destination.”
Going through the motions is just that… motion.
It may be activity, but not progress.
If you don’t know where you want to go, it’s going to be hard to get there.
Instead of asking , “Which way am I going?” try asking “Where am I trying to get to?”
You may not always know what direction to go immediately, but you can keep sight of your goal.
Enjoy the Journey
Here is another secret.
You never really “get there.”
You can win. You can succeed. You can accomplish your dreams.
However, with every mountain you conquer, there is another on the horizon.
It is not about getting there, but enjoying the journey along the way.
Question: Do you know where you are trying to get to?
A bit like your post the other day about “never getting to the end of your to do list”! Life is, indeed, about the journey not the desination.
Another reason to keep your stress level to zero if you possibly can. It’s hard I know – but at least if you remember to keep reminding yourself you will help keep it in check.

I found this bit to be particularly brilliant: “Going through the motions is just that… motion. It may be activity, but not progress.”
Such a simple concept but a way to frame things differently so you can stop using “being busy” as an excuse to not do something towards finding your goals and working towards them. Another motivating article, thanks Craig!
