Ah. Getting there is half the fun. Said by someone who obviously had never traveled anywhere.
Actually I like this one - it isn't the destination that is important, but the journey itself. How often in life do we miss that fact - waiting for other events to make us happy, rather than deciding to be happy ourselves now.
Ahhh, the old "I'll be happy when" syndrome...
When "when" comes, it's now & the afflicted ones are still not happy because once again they are living for when...
We miss so much of what's around us because we are too busy looking for what's missing.
Enjoy the sunrise and sunset, stop and smell the roses, laugh at something silly; you can find happiness in every little thing if you truly WANT to.
I think this means that the destination is not the only part you should enjoy, you should like what you accomplished to get where you are.
