To Achieve or to Experience

Imagine you have the opportunity to take a trip across the country.

You can stop wherever you'd like, spend however long you want at any location, and have no set timetable. Are you going to focus solely on your destination and simply drive there ,or are you going to let go of the need to arrive anywhere at any particular time and enjoy the scenery, the people you meet along the way, and the places you linger in ?

Every day, you have the opportunity to go on a "cross-country" trip once in a lifetime. It is a twenty-four-hour adventure that'll never be repeated any other day . How do you wish to spend the time? Do simply focusing  on your goals and trying to achieve them?

Today, you can reach any destination or any goal you set for yourself , but how you do so will determine how enjoyable and memorable today will be. The runner who only looks down at the road road and notices the sights, sounds, and smells around him or her.

Today, make an effort to notice one person's face, one part of nature, or one event on your journey to tomorrow.
