Enjoy The Journey

A journey is travel or passage from one place to another.

Our travels included the adventures in our imagination as kids, the awkwardness of finding ourselves as teens, and the responsibilities we now face as adults.

We begin this trip when born and end it in death. In between is the journey.

The journey is where the hardest and most beautiful lessons are learned.

There will always be lessons full of joy, confusion, and pain, but our response to these lessons molds us into who we are and directs us where we will go.

Know that the hardships of life make us resilient and we heal from each scar eventually.

When I’ve shared my past with others, many are uncomfortable or I see the sympathy in their eyes. It’s then I say, “I don’t wish for a single thing from my past to change no matter how bad it was, because it has made me the person I am today.”

When we embrace life’s obstacles instead of fearing them, it makes us stronger. When we can forgive others, we grow ourselves. When we can learn to find the positive light in the darkness, is when real change happens.

Remember, the destination is just an afterthought. Find the joy in life’s mishaps. Learn to laugh at the inevitable and be more at peace with what you cannot control or change. Truly begin to live life and enjoy the journey…
