Just like a car needs a charged battery in order to operate, so do humans. Imagine driving through the countryside on an empty tank, too distracted by the flashing light on the dashboard to appreciate the rolling hills you are driving through. Life’s journey is no different: when we push through daily life without energy, we strip the joy our of our journey and miss the beauty of what life is: every hour, day and week is its own journey. It may constitute part of a larger journey, standing still, or taking a little detour along the way. Whatever direction each moment may take us in, it is critical to travel it with a charged battery. That means that we must learn to take the time to have a standing still day. It’s not only ok, but beneficial to do nothing but re-energize, so that we can get back on our forward journey with lots of energy – enough to enjoy a few detours and smell the roses. The destination is nothing more than the end point of your journey, and the journey is what stays with your soul. Do the work, enjoy the journey, love the result.
