Goal!

 

It’s wonderful to have goals in life! 

Now, the problem kicks in when we are too focused on them, too hasty and impatient to get there.  We will then become stressed out, frustrated, and disappointed easily.  Relax.  Once you’ve set your targets, learn to enjoy the journey to your destination.  Sure, there are hurdles but there are pleasant moments along the way too.  Experience each event one at a time.  After all, you’re already on the path – it’s just a matter of time before you reach your destination.

It’s like the jungle trekking holiday I’ve just been (something I’ve been cajoled into doing) – at the beginning, it felt so long and tiring because I was too absorbed in finishing the trek and getting back to the hotel for a nice hot bath…but as soon as I learned to take pleasure in each scenery, flower, plant and tree along the way, everything became so much more enjoyable (yes, blisters, scratches, bites and all!)…and before I knew it, I was already at the end of the trek.
