If I’m not certain where I’m at and if I’ve not quite determined where I want to go, I’ll eventually find myself in neither place.

I am made for a purpose. And it is worth expending everything that I have to find it, for I will waste everything that I have if I do not.

It is in the ‘exhaustion’ of getting to the goal that we too often forget the ‘elation’ of achieving the goal. And because that’s the case, too often we forfeit both.

Waiting for a journey is not a journey, even though we are quite adept at confusing the two.

I can confidently say that I’m not where I was yesterday. But if I don’t have a clear goal, where I am today is likely an extension of the same ditch.

My decisions determine my destination long before I ever get there. And once I do get there, I suddenly realize this is not the destination I had in mind because what I had in mind was the fantasy that my denial had created verses the reality my choices crafted.

The finish line is the culmination of a journey. As such, we should never pay it so much attention that the culmination of the journey becomes the whole of the journey at the expense of the journey

If the first step doesn’t happen, neither does the journey.

As I join with you, our destination is the same. However, the rationale for that destination is entirely different. Your rationale is the fact that this destination is your calling, while my calling is to get you to your destination.
