Enjoy the Journey
Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.

Last night, I posted a picture of the proof copy of my new book, On Track – Life Lessons from the Track & Field.
It came in the mail yesterday. Actually, I received four copies.
Part of the self publishing process includes an opportunity to review an actual copy of your book before it goes public. Honestly, I’m not sure I knew this was part of the experience until recently.
Writing a book has brought about a lot of new experiences. I am doing my best to enjoy each aspect of this journey. Believe me, I’m looking forward to the actual book being complete and available to the public, but there is so much that happens along the way. I don’t want to miss it.
Most of life is the same way.
We have goals. We have dreams. We have targets.
One day, we’ll get there. We’ll reach our dreams. We’ll achieve many of our desires. We may also miss out on reaching some of our targets and goals.
But there is a lot that happens between now and the achievement of our dreams. These happenings aren’t meant to be missed. They are meant to be experienced and enjoyed. To quote Billy Joel (sorry David), “This is the time to remember, ’cause it will not last forever.”
