Over the years during my experiences I have found out that life is a journey. There are many paths to follow and to reach our destination. But we never know what might be in our destination....  We all have goals at least most of us in our lives to reach....No one says this journey can all good and easy..It can be difficult and we might not find what we are looking for.....There is great meaning to life if we follow this journey....

What are your thoughts?  Should we continue our path and this journey? What are you looking for? What is the meaning of life to you?  Do you agree "Life is a Journey not a Destination”?

 

“Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing often more important than the outcome” Arthur Ashe

“One approaches the journey’s end. But the end is a goal, not a catastrophe” George Sand

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step” Lao Tzu

“If difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all” Dan Rather

“The only journey is the one within” Rainer Maria Rilke

Quoting boorah

- It's not a sprint, it's a marathon

- Slow and steady wins the race

- what are you going to do for a face when the monkey wants his bum back?

- life is not hard, it only needs some positive thinking

- The older the violin, the sweeter the music

- If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

- Life is short, death is long.

- He's like school in the summer ...No class

- go ugly early; don't wait for closing time

- don't worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon

- as off as a bucket of prawns in the midday sun

- time is what keeps everything from happening at once


I like it..very encouraging and positive..
 
Julie

Okay Don..thank you for your advise...Everyone's opinion is correct and accepted..I learned from everyone...
like you said" submerge judgements and be open to ideas from others"
"even if they dont agree with yours"
What would i do without you?

Life is a Rail ride OUT of mm.
Take heed.
Those who take advantage of others without compensation,
who make false promises over and again,
WILL feel the wrathe of the disenchanted.

Over and over and over again, they eventually manage to slit their OWN throats,usually in fits of arrogant,egotistical stupidity.


Thank you Shaz as always...
Julie

Life is a journey.I support that. I just have tried to teach myself to pay attention to the sights every step of the way. otherwise i am fearful of missing all the sights.
This ain't no dress rehearsal.
Best lis


Lisa, you are right..
We can't take life for granted as it is short and it is a journey that we can't miss...but we have so much to accomplish in this journey..

Quoting boorah

“Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.”

“Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall.”

“If you were to make little fishes talk, they would talk like whales”

“The first time I read an excellent work, it is to me just as if I gained a new friend; and when I read over a book I have perused before, it resembles the meeting of an old one”

Oliver Goldsmith


Boorah,
Great quote..
Julie

Consider: the destination IS the journey! We are supposed to be right where we are. scott peck (The Road less traveled, and Further along the road less traveled) and thomas Moore (care of the Soul) are great reads.
A good way to evaluate if where you are is where you could be: As we age we realize we stay the same inside. So, close your eyes and pretend you are 90 years old, and lying in bed, thinking about your life. You think about all the fun you've had, people you've loved...then you think about something you should've done: trained for a marathon, become a teacher, open a clinic, adopted a pet or child, finished a degree. Then open your eyes...thats it...you know what you still can be. Start now...there are great things on the other side of that door.


Hi CK,
Thank you for the nice comment...life is a journey and through this journey we can do amazing things until we reach out dedestination. But this journey is long and fun...
Julie

I think its a journey and i never no where the road takes us..... I have no expections for the future anymore i learned to live life to the fullest and try to make others and myself happy along the way!  If i new what i was looking for i would be content..but then as soon as i got it i would look for something else, so i look for nothing and enjoy life.


Well that is the idea...enjoy while you can..life is too short..
