Find Joy in the Journey

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend a real estate conference in Bellingham called Win Make Give. It was an awesome 2-day event, and I took a TON of new information away from it. One of the things that stuck with me the most was about finding JOY in the journey.

In life, it’s really easy to get caught up on the future. We set goals for ourselves, and we think that life will be awesome when we reach those goals. When we finally get to that destination in the future, THEN we’ll be happy.

A lot of times, when we do finally hit those goals or reach that destination we’ve been working toward, it can feel extremely anticlimactic. We sometimes even become depressed because we no longer have something we’re working toward.

I’m a huge advocate for setting goals and dreaming big, but I think we also need to remind ourselves to enjoy the journey. Life is way too short to live for the future. Instead, if we make the most of every single day, our lives will be 1,000% more rewarding. We have the choice. We need to make the DECISION to find joy every single day; to enjoy the little things; and to treasure the moments with the people in our lives.

Find joy in the journey!
