Destination, Or, Journey...It's ALL The Same...

     'Life is a journey, not a destination.' ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson For the most-part, I will agree with Mr. Emerson's sentiment; for, the ongoing, process of life, and, how it 'plays out' and 'unfolds', is, in fact, the GREATEST, journey we endeavor. This being said, there are, certain, definable, moments, within this 'wonderful-wayfaring', in which we do get to, very, specific, benchmarks of growth...when we have 'arrived', so to speak; momentous, intervals, during our lifetime, when we realize the effort(s) of our 'hard-work' and 'labor' toward the betterment and successes we wish of and for ourselves, either, by way of education, a job, or work-related advancement, or, spiritual-growth and evolution. Just as on any odyssey, this, our, life-journey, is where we discover things about who we are...what we're 'made of' and, how well we're able to navigate through this lifetime. We are the 'Captains' of our, own, ships; Yet, we can typically, benefit, from having a 'co-pilot', during our sojourn. I have found, that, by allowing God that special, place, throughout my own, personal-passage, I am, better able to direct and manage my 'course', as I endeavor my expedition. He is always, there, to 'take the helm', in moments when I might falter, veer off course, or, otherwise, 'get lost'. It is the same for anyone who relies on His 'expertise', as he or she goes 'searching', while on, this, earthly-exploration. The amazing thing is, that, He IS available for this 'post', to all who, simply, ask of Him. So, whether it's all about the 'journey and not the destination', or vice-versa, in any case, it's, ALWAYS, easier, with Our 'First-Mate', 'along for the ride'! Just Sayin'...
