Why Life Is About The Journey Not The Destination | Brought to you by BABBEL. Save up to 60 % off your subscription when you go to https://babbel.com/PASSIONSTRUCK.
We all set objectives and aim for specific destinations at different phases in life. These goals range from losing weight to getting an academic degree to attaining a particular position in our career. However, after setting these goals, many people forget to pay attention to the process, dedication, and daily intentions it takes to achieve them. Thus, they miss out on all the benefits and opportunities along the journey. That is because life is the journey, not the destination.
Our happiness is found not in completing an activity but in doing it.

In This Week’s Episode, John R. Miles Explores Why Life Is About The Journey Not The Destination
If you discovered this episode of Passion Struck, you are likely on the path of self-discovery and seeking knowledge on how to do it. You are not alone. Often we focus so much on the desired end-state of our goals that we miss the essential part—your journey to achieving your aspirations. I will discuss the impediments along the way to achieving this journey and provide various ways you can stay on track to creating your best life. I do this by using the story of Cheryl Snead, an African American business leader, and philanthropist who understood why life is about the journey not the destination.
- Why life is the journey, not the destination
- How Cheryl Snead adapted and found joy along her journey
- Why do we lose sight that life is about the journey not the destination?
- What are the implications of focusing only on the end results and not the journey?
- How do you focus on and enjoy the journey?
- Why you cannot afford to postpone living the life you want to live
