Diving for Treasure
When we have a goal we are striving for, sometimes we focus on it so hard we actually miss out on the journey there, that is actually our life. Many people like the thought of being skilled carpenters and impressing their loved ones with their building expertise. Not everyone enjoys the process of meticulously constructing furniture though. Are you enjoying the process of striving for your goals? There is actually no award given out for needlessly suffering on your way, so make sure you enjoy your journey!
I’m sure everyone can empathize with the experience that sometimes even when you are doing something you enjoy, you end up focusing on the progress you’re making and finishing so much that the whole experience just ends up being stressful and draining. And afterwards you realize that you could have done the exact same thing and focused on just enjoying the doing, and your whole experience would have been totally different. Focusing on enjoying the simple steps on the way to your goal instead of the end result will make your life so much more peaceful and happier.
