Comment on The Best Goal is No Goal

Comments

My father used to tell me "it's all about the journey, not the goal".

As a kid I thought that was silly, but as I grew older it made more sense.

As an adult, I would sum up that statement as follows: When you look back on you life, would you like to say look at all these goals I completed, or look at how much I enjoyed the journey of all my years?

Actually, looking back, the great memories are about the problems I have overcome, not the times when I was enjoying myself.

I'd like to say both of those things :-) Look at the great things I created, and look at the fun I had doing it.
