The expression "Life is a Journey not a Destination" by Ralph Waldo Emerson is a common cliche to remind ourselves to enjoy life. But why do I constantly forget?

I get so wrapped up in the moment with the details and the struggle that every part of enjoyment aspect of life flew out the window. This is where community prevails. I am very thankful for the opportunity of being in WA community with the constant reminder that "Life is a journey."

For the short seven months I've been at WA, I have been inspired by so many individuals from different countries and cultures that I lost count. The community reminded me that we all have struggles and obstacles. Those struggles are what give us the feeling of accomplishments. No one has it worse or better.

This is where the enjoyment comes in. I stopped for a moment, observed from the outside looking in, took a deep breath, and blew it out. The frustrations and struggles slowly faded. Wow, what a concept!

Thank you everyone for being part of my community!!! I am learning so much and enjoying every minute of it (yes, that includes the struggles, obstacles, and frustrations). I look forward to learn even more and more and more with each and every one of you.

Love to hear your struggles and obstacles. Share them and breathe them out....

There is no life without struggle s, confusion and corruption.
We are living on borrowed time, and must measure it wisely.
Without obstacles, the lesson will not we genuine.

That is a truth saying! "Life is a Journey and not a destination."

Thank you for your thoughts!

You're welcome!

Thank you Hadora, I love to be on this journey with you, even if I

What did you say ?

Oops. I am slow as well... It's not a bad thing, only perspective. Thank you for your comment.

Have a nice weekend

You too!!!

Great perspective. I have been incredibly inspired as well! Networking with you has been such a pleasure

Thank you for your thoughts. It's my pleasure as well. We help each other climb up to the top.

Thanks for sharing! "Life is a journey" is my motto, like all truths and cliches it's simple but we so often forget it!

Even if we reach a certain "destination" we might feel happy for a while, but soon after the next destination will start looming in the horizon and again we think we'll be happy (or happier) if we just reach that new one too.

It's human nature, and once we remind ourselves that life is a Journey indeed, we'll allow ourselves to feel content and fulfilled in the present moment. That's all we have anyway!

Glad to connect with you here and yes, this community is amazing and we all learn so much and keep ourselves inspired and motivated. My biggest struggle with the WA journey is procrastinating and making progress in a slow pace. But again, I remind myself that even slow progress is still progress and that it's not a race but a marathon :)

Totally agree! Thank you for your thoughts.

Excellent!

My life with WA has been a lot of ups and a few downs. What i am grateful for is the opportunity to learn and then apply. The community here has taught me as much as the training. So thank you everybody.
