If life is a journey, why do we focus so much on the destination?

Because people are impatient and do not think often in the longer term, but want to see immediate results, while something can still produce results after years. It's sowing, planting, planting, harvesting. So we have to spend the time usefully and make good...

It's sowing, planting, planting, harvesting. So we have to spend the time usefully and make good use of it and give it time. We also need to get rid of the fact that we want to reach the top. Hardly said, but not everyone reaches the top. Why that is the case, there is no answer. That depends on various factors, what you have and have not had an influence on. After all, you have people who reach the top and others who don't, even though maybe they've both worked equally hard. This is visible to some people, but not to the other. Ultimately, it's about being able to accept that you can perform well even if you don't always have to reach that top, but have worked hard and are allowed to tell yourself, “I did a good job.” Then you are at peace in your heart and you are never afraid.

It's about what trip you want to take. What are your motives for traveling? Greed, personal development, recognition of your environment. My journey is trying to live by the Ubuntu philosophy. https://yoo.rs/de-ubuntu-levensfilosofie?Ysid=55539

I agree with you when you say that we've been conditioned to believe that success and happiness lie at the end of the road, rather than in the journey itself. I think humans are very goal-oriented, to use an expression that you often find in job... Show moreI agree with you when you say that we've been conditioned to believe that success and happiness lie at the end of the road, rather than in the journey itself. I think humans are very goal-oriented, to use an expression that you often find in job announcements. This could also be a controversial thought, but I think religious people are especially so. Many religious people live their lives in fear of divine judgement, and they forget that being virtuous (good, just, loving, charitable... towards others) is how it should be - regardless of the possible outcome. Another very interesting article! Well done! 😋

I think that our nature feels better if it thinks that we are already predestined for something, and that it is not only our responsibility, we have to blame someone
