Enjoy the journey just like destination

The journey of ultimate success begins when you have that beautiful dream set which you aspire to have in reality one day. When you truly believe to honour your dream, the time, place or resources are no longer any hurdles. You have to fly, run and creep to achieve the target by forgetting days, months or years.

Just imagine that when you cross the final hurdle to your destination and the journey is to its end, what will happen? Surely you will be elated and you’ll celebrate. The ice of your hard work will be relieved by the warmness of the satisfaction.

Someday when you’ll be sitting alone in a corner of the world, the smile of this victory will come to you. You’ll surely mesmerize the little moments of crossing the finishing line in the journey. But does the achieving of the destination gives you eternal happiness?

In reality, your result is just a part of the journey which is a cherished moment just like any other portion of the tour. The fear of beginning, the pain of falling in between and the cry of both losing and winning everything in the journey will constitute your nostalgia.

I know you began for the goal with the profound will; to taste the victory medal. But the result which may be good or even bad is an outcome of millions of tiny steps you took in your journey. Whatever you get to end, your result is the medal for the decisions you took in between. But today is yours. Don’t let the tension of tomorrow disturb your present.

Perhaps you may lose and fall in between. But that okay. For losing isn’t permanent and falling isn’t permanent. You will one day surely succeed. Just by focusing on the future, you forget to live the present. Never forget even your today is a part of what you’ll be tomorrow.

It’s fine to break up and cry on your pains today, blush on your little achievement and motivate yourself to get up the next day. Just remember life is a long story whose chapters are the events. Don’t worry about the climax but celebrate the moments of the present.
