For my quote, which is the title, I chose "Focus on the journey, not the destination." by Greg Anderson. Greg is actually a best-selling author and founder of the American Wellness Project. I chose this specific quote for two reasons. The first reason was because I never really thought about the paths of life like that before. I always wanted to get to the finish line in whatever decision I have ever made in my life. I always thought about the future, about what would happen in the end, plan ahead all the time. When I read this quote, I though about the journeys I went through instead of the destination. I figured out that I really always looked at the destination. For example, when I was about to start 6th grade I already started to try to get good grades to be good in high school, so I can get into a good college, to get a good job, have a good life, and so on! Now when I look back. What was I thinking with getting to my "destination"? Greg Anderson was right. I need to enjoy the journey, not the destination!
The second reason is because I completely agree with him. If you take any time to enjoy the journey your on, life's no fun. The journey is really the whole experience you can actually take away from life. Now I'm trying to focus more on the journey, like the quotes says. I really think it's a great way of living. A balance of dreams, planning and future! I really value the different paths I get to choose from in life, so I'm really enjoying the journey now!
