161 - Happiness is not a destination, it is a way of life - See one, do one, teach one

This is one of those quotes that the ‘state farm insurance’ commercials that “stop you from becoming your parents” that hangs on a wall in your house and has no need to be there. I saw this in TJ Maxx years ago (maybe college), and it has hung on a canvas print with me everywhere I go. Now it’s hanging in my office. It falls nicely in line with the quote from Dr. Bonner I gave you yesterday. If you find joy and happiness, success will follow. As I interpret it, the journey should make you enjoy yourself, not the destination. If the destination truly were the reward (let’s say it’s winning a game, for example), then if the other team forfeits, or calls you and says, “you know what coach, we don’t even have to play, you win”, there’s something lost there. Focus on your journey. Enjoy the daily interactions, the challenges and the rewards. John Wooden said, “each day of the journey is precious, we must strive to make it our masterpiece”
