ENJOY THE JOURNEY

Life is not really about getting to a destination
It’s about how we live along the way
It’s easy to become so goal-oriented
And so focused on our dreams
That we overlook the simple things
We should be enjoying each day

Life is a journey morning
There is no such thing as the finish line
Once we accomplish this dream
God will give us another
When we overcome that challenge
There will be another

There is always another mountain to climb
If you make the mistake of living for the destination
You will look upon one day and realize
You’ve missed out on the biggest part of life
Most of life is routine

Most of us get up every morning
Go to work come home eat dinner
Go to bed and then do it all again
There are very few mountaintops
You graduate from school 

You get married you have a child

The high times are few and far between
But many people live only for the mountaintops
They’re so focused on earning promotions
They work night and day
They don’t really enjoy their families

They are so stressed raising 

Their children and enjoying their children
They’re so caught up in solving daily problems
They don’t enjoy the best moment of each day
Slow down and enjoy the journey

Some spend their whole lives trying to reach a goal
Only to find out its not what it was all cracked up to be
My friend the real joy is in the simple things it’s in being
With your family getting up early and seeing the sunrise
The goals and accomplishment bring us
A sense of satisfaction but they are only temporary
