Isn't it all about the journey?

It has been said, often and by many, that life is all about the journey rather than the destination. But, is it?

The thought of a final destination is something that keeps most people heading in the right direction. They need the goal of a family to support or a woman to impress or simply the fact that they want to be able to do whatever it is they want to drive them forward. That is perfectly fine, I am quite a goal oriented person myself, but this can not take precedence over self can it?

What is "self"? That is simply what I call anything that you do simply for the joy of doing it. Stopping to look at the bird or eating your lunch by the fountain instead of inside the building.

There are those of us, however, that need to do a little bit more. Perhaps they feel the need to go outside their box, the community that they are surrounded by. Or perhaps it is a need to step out of the comfort zone, get a sweat and feel a bit of adrenaline. Whatever, it's all the same.

You see, both the person that is sitting under the tree daydreaming of becoming a squirrel and the guy that feels the need to ride his bicycle across the country are essentially the same person doing the same thing for the same reason.

So go pleasure yourself! Find something to do that is just for you, to either submerse yourself in thought or lose it all together. :)
