Embrace and love your journey, even when that journey does not lead you to what you thought it would!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

journey is relative and time meaured, your motion is in time!. You do things intentionally!. Let alone goals, if your action is with intent, why you do not bother for destiny, becuase without destiny you can not have life, people die when they do have nothing to think and act, "Thinking" and "acting" are linked by "energy" and produce "motion" which is directed to something be small action or big goal!.!.!.your saying is simply regarded as let any "things" take me whereever possible!.!.!.but we are people, not wind! it is wind and like matters that has no control over thier action or journey or you are going but you do not know where you are going, choice that is the only chance to shape the journey with defined end!

Maybe this elaboration is a jouney in itself!? I think that what one learns during their journey, is their journey! By definition when learning stops so does that journey!. Call me an optimist (ya think) but the end is ten toes up, right!? So where the journey ends is in direct proportion to the amount of learning one decides to end it at!. Then too if learning is key to the distance of ones journey does it then also point to a different end with each new idea or thought learned!? Therefore making the end an even more important part of the journey itself!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Good question but I would have to say!.!.not necessarily!. Part of the journey is to be enjoyed and not just looked at as a growth experience!. I mean, I could just as easily go back to school for another degree in something I do not like simply for the sake of learning, but that would probably still leave me unfulfilled!. Or having lived a life that you truly hated, and looking back, the person may be full of regrets regardless of what was learned!. Knowledge is not the only thing to be achieved!. It is just as important to be in an "end" that you find yourself happy as well as wiser!. So to answer your question, I do not see it as a matter of either/or because both sides have equal validity, and in my personal journey, I will aim for both growth AND an ending I am satisfied with!.

yes this true But just remember the journey never ends until we are in the grave!.

If a trip is planned, there are so many sights to see and people to meet to provide new experiences in life that affect us from that time on!. When we come to the end, it is really just a new beginning of a different journey is the jaunt thru life!. In fact, there never even a break or pause in this journey!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like the sentiment, in theory!.

In practice, if we don't reach our goals, we accomplish little!.

As far as LIFE AND DEATH, I think the phrase applies!.

Otherwise, perhaps it is a bit of sentimentality to say when people fail!. Because, if you too disheartened by failure, you will still never reach your goal!. And have you have no goals, where are you going!? What guides your life!?

Both matter equally, to me!. To many, whatever you must endure during the journey is meaningless, as long as you reach your destination!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you could convince more people of that concept then maybe they would slow down and take better care of themselves!. People are always in a rush to get to the top!. And sadly, when they get there, it isn't what it's all cracked up to be!.

All the lessons you will ever learn, is by taking a journey and going through whatever life brings at you!. The end of the journey will be what you expected, if you just have a little patience and take smaller steps!. God BlessWww@QuestionHome@Com

yes, and to the one who says her goal is what matters!.!.!.sometimes we only "think" it is the goal that matters!. Just like the saying, Life is what happens when we are busy planning our life!. We learn so much along the way and though the goal may seem to be the most important part, it usually isn't!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes I agree like one of those ongoign stews keep the pot bubbling adn adding a bit more each day - always plenty of learning!. I alos like the quote from soren kirkegaard about life being understood backwards but must be lived forwards - I think we can name goals in retrospect - Liking what we get rather than geting what we like!.
Works for me anyway!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have to disagree!. If I have a goal and never get there and learn what mistakes I made on the way, what good is that to me!? I'm still not at my goal!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What are you talking about!. Nothing matters

The end of journey is death and who thinks about what he has learnt from his life when other people surrounding him are fighting over who's going to pull the plug!.

if you learn from the first failed journey, you can plan an even better one next time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Like the man who jumped on his horse and rode off in all directions at the same time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
