Journey and Pathways

Luckily, the world is a sphere. I was always traveling toward you. I just took the long way around.”“For a map-­maker, you’re shockingly bad with directions.”“Then you’d best stay close. So I don’t lose the way.

The shortest route between where I’m at and where I want to go is a straight line. However, if where I want to go in life is where I’m at, a line is unnecessary. In that case, so is just about everything else.

What you want is within reach.

A path less traveled is best done in twos.

Distance is the journey. Displacement is the result.

You could start at a path leading nowhere more fantastic than from your own front steps to the sidewalk, and from there you could go… well, anywhere at all.

The start point is the present and no matter where you start, you can go anywhere. The path may just be longer or shorter depending on where you are. - The Malwatch

This is an incredibly large and confusing area of the earth; it's very easy to trust your racing instinct instead of the route book and your navigator ... I won't make that mistake again.

In a creative journey, it is essential, no matter how far one runs, to examine that which is closest to home.

I have climbed several higher mountains without guide or path, and have found, as might be expected, that it takes only more time and patience commonly than to travel the smoothest highway.

There is no well-trodden route to where I am, no formula to replicate.

The route may, say, go across the field for 22 yards. I know I have to be there, but how I get there is where they allow me to be creative.

Perspective and Mindset

Distance does not define your destination; it is defined by your thoughts.

Do not afraid of the distance of your path, because the widen path shows as narrowed.

If you are on the widen and right path, then do not assume your narrowed future.

Even if the path seems blurry, stay focused on your GOAL.

The length and difficulty of the path to your destination does not depend on the path itself, it depends on your abilities!

If you do not have the concept of distance, you may reach an unreachable place!

The distance doesn't matter; it is only the first step that is difficult.

Willingness to meet halfway works well only if we are able to judge distance accurately.

The distance between where you are now and the path you think you should be on is probably smaller than you think it is.

The shortest distance between two points is your mind. It’s not a straight line.

The way to get from point A to point B is really to be at A.

The desire to get from point A to point B in the shortest, most efficient amount of time without ever wandering off path, can mean you miss out on those happy accidents that push you further and faster in a direction you never even considered.

Obstacles and Challenges

It’s been said that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. And that may be true. However, if I want to grow and be stretched in the journey, I won’t be looking for the straight line.

The ability to tell a good route from a terrible one is a valuable skill when leading an expedition. Unfortunately for us all, it was a skill I did not possess.

If there are obstacles, the shortest line between two points may be the crooked line.

Don't look at the distance. Put your one foot in front of the other, and soon you will reach your destination.

Perseverance is going one mile past the end of the mile past where you knew you couldn’t go any further.

As regards obstacles, the shortest distance between two points can be a curve.

Sometimes the best map will not guide you, you can't see what's round the bend. Sometimes the road leads through dark places, sometimes the darkness is your friend

If he was to walk a mile up the road, he wouldn't be able to find his way home.

It took me a long time to realize that distance can ruin even the best of intentions.

Another long run, hoping to put distance between me and everything else. The farther, the better. Only problem is, the distance is just temporary, because no matter how far I go, I always have to come back.

The key to building distance in the long run is the ability of the mind to lie to the body – and be convincing.

Sometimes, the easiest route is not the best route.

Shortcuts and Longcuts

Never confuse a clear path with a short distance.

The shortest path is no always the fastest.

The shortest path is not always the fastest.

Like most shortcuts, it was an ill-chosen route

Sometimes it's necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly.

By experience we find out a short way by a long wandering.

Sometimes it’s necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly.

Like most shortcuts, it was an ill-chosen route.

Separated from Hellas by more than a thousand miles, they had not even a guide to point the way.

A short story is the shortest distance between two points; a novel is the scenic route.

Sometimes getting an idea of the trajectory we're on can be helpful and knowing where to go and what to avoid.

Sometimes, the easiest route is not the best route.

Navigation and Direction

Good can sit in the distance, just beyond your view, waiting, until you go toward it.

It's almost funny: you think you matter to someone. They're the center of your universe, the sun you revolve around. You'd give anything for their details. You inch closer, closer, with tentative steps. You can walk as far as you want, but it won't matter. You are not even on their map.

You can go the distanceYou can go the mileYou can walk straight through hell with a smile

You don't reach Serendib by plotting a course for it. You have to set out in good faith for elsewhere and lose your bearings ... serendipitously.

The art of Navigation demonstrates how, by the shortest good way, by the aptest direction, and in the shortest time, a sufficient ship, between any two places (in passage navigable) assigned, may be conducted; and in all storms and natural disturbances chancing, how to use the best possible means, whereby to recover the place first assigned. Mathematical Preface

Philosophy's work is finding the shortest path between two points.

The true way goes over a line that, rather than spanning heights, is hardly above the ground. It appears more decidedly to make one trip than to be walked along.

The Trail Guide is the ideal navigation device for Wrangler owners. Whether traveling the highways, negotiating the byways, or hiking on foot, the Trail Guide is every bit as versatile as the Wrangler itself.

Sometimes the space between knowing what to do and actually doing it is a very short walk. Other times it is an impossible expanse.

The compass of accurate knowledge directs the shortest, safest, cheapest course to any destination.

When someone did a route, I was always able to emulate exactly how they did it.

Route running is an art, not a science.

Discovery and Exploration

Will you choose the easy way or go the extra mile and rise higher?

It was hard to believe that this was a route used virtually throughout the year by travelers, mule drivers and merchants. Anyone in their right mind would have regarded it as a means of suicide. Near the watershed, at an altitude of two thousand meters, amid peaks disappearing into the clouds, rather than a way of getting from point A to point B, the path seemed to have become quite simply a way of departing from all points at once.

You have to find a different approach to what is through a different vantage point.

We don't want to find ourselves short at the blue line. (Ranger) gives us another option.

Short or long to Goblin City? The straight way's short But the long way's pretty...

To go far you must begin near, and the nearest step is the most important one.

The best path between two points is upside-down, between, then inside-out and round again.

This course didn't look very difficult for me. There were tracks in the snow that looked good for me to follow when I was attacking the gates.

It’s almost funny: you think you matter to someone. They’re the center of your universe, the sun you revolve around. You’d give anything for their details. You inch closer, closer, with tentative steps. You can walk as far as you want, but it won’t matter. You are not even on their map.

The shortest distance between two points is the line from me to you.

Short or long to Goblin City? The straight way’s short But the long way’s pretty...

A guru is like a live road map. If you want to walk uncharted terrain, I think it is sensible to walk with a road map.

Take Google Maps or Waze. On the one hand, they amplify human ability - you are able to reach your destination faster and more easily. But at the same time, you are shifting the authority to the algorithm and losing your ability to find your own way.

If the place I wanted to arrive at could only be reached by a ladder, I would give up trying to arrive at it. For the place I really have to reach is where I must already be. What is reachable by a ladder doesn't interest me.
