Where The Lessons Are Learned

Good luck jumping from point A to point B in the hopes of missing all the stuff in the middle. It can’t be done. You’ll never finish the marathon…hit your personal best…run your first 5K…or run 30 days in a row without a lot of grueling,”I-want-to-give-up” type of days.

Sometimes, I think, we want to get to the other side too quickly. Sometimes we expect to finish the race, bypass the grief, become who we want to become without recognizing that it’s on the journey that the lessons are learned.

As you travel down your path – whatever sort of path it might be – remember that there is value in acknowledging where you are at this exact moment.
