[Change Your Life] It's Not the Destination - Nightingale

In the great Greek poem by Constantine Cavafy titled "Ithaka," we are reminded that it is the voyage and the adventures on the way that count, not the arrival itself.
This seems to be a most difficult truth to understand. This is not to say that a person's goal in life is unimportant. On the contrary, it's vital. For without a goal, a distant destination, we would not be on the trip at all. Instead we'd run around in circles, endlessly following the shoreline around our tiny island. Every person needs a great and distant goal toward which to strive. But in traveling toward it, he should try to keep in mind that the fabled land he seeks has shores much like the one he left behind and that its purpose is not so much a resting place but, rather, the reason for the trip.
Where a person goes is not nearly as important as how he gets there. That a house is built is not all that important. It is the manner in which it is built that makes it great, average, or poor. That we live is not nearly as important as the manner in which we live.
