It's all about readjusting our view towards the journey itself. I can also enjoy a nice take out meal, and a good coffee, at the airport terminal, both made for me. I have meals brought to me on the plane, rather than have to be worrying about cooking. I can actually sit in the plane and not have to worry about staying awake to get to the destination, or be responsible for flying the plane. I can spend the time in the airport terminal being proactive, and getting some work done on my laptop, because there's always some of that to do. If I look at the journey with a different view, is it really that bad after all? Firstly, I could be stuck at home, doing what I do every day, instead of having the blessing of being on a holiday.

If, in my mind, I am telling myself that the journey from home to my hotel in Honolulu is going to be horrible, tiresome, boring, pain staking, and tedious, naturally it's going to be just that. The journey towards our goals is no different, we just have to apply ourselves and do all the things we don't necessarily want to do, or like doing, yet we know we must do if we want to succeed. Many hours of either sitting on a plane, or in an airport terminal, yet the simple fact is, I couldn't get to my hotel in Hawaii without experiencing the journey first. It's such a process to have to go through, and a lengthy one at that. Urgh, I'm tired from just writing all of that. I'd have to drive to the airport, lug my suitcase a few hundred meters to the terminal, check the bag in, go through the security screening, wait for about an hour in the terminal staring at my phone, finally board the plane, then wait another 20 minutes for everyone else to board and the security demonstration to finish, then it's up in the air for 90 minutes just to get to Sydney, depart the plane, wait another 15 minutes for my bag to come out on the carousel, make my way to the train station, board the train to the international terminal, wait there for another handful of hours, go through the luggage check in and security stuff again, wait more in the terminal, board another plane, spend another 20 minutes on the tarmac waiting to depart, then spend the next 11 hours on the flight with my legs squashed and cramped, land in Honolulu, wait another 30 minutes at the arrivals/customs hall, collect my luggage, catch a shuttle bus to the hotel, and finally, the destination is reached. Say the destination is Hawaii for me, for example. It's a type of journey I'd compare with flying overseas for a holiday, just on a much longer scaled timeframe. The worst part is, it's very rarely just a few weeks, or even a few months, of this, it's quite often many years, definitely where the genuine life transforming goals are concerned anyway. There's a lot that needs to take place before we can taste that success, and it's always a lot of the mundane, unenjoyable, strenuous, uncomfortable, and challenging, crap that stands in our way. To go from where we are now, to reaching the destination, which is our goal, is indeed a journey in itself. We know that it will either take a miracle to achieve, or it will take forever to achieve, and this deflates us. As much as we want it now though, we also are fully aware that life doesn't work like that.

We want that glory so much, and we want it now.

Even just the thought of succeeding in reaching that goal often excites us and brings a little smirk to our face.
#EMBRACE THE JOURNEY FULL#
We know full well that achieving these goals will provide us with immense happiness, satisfaction, and accomplishment. For most of us, there are goals in which we so desperately long to achieve in life.
