#Beingaleader means you need to learn to enjoy the journey. That is hard for me as I am more of a destination guy. I want to accomplish. To complete. To achieve. To get there. I need to learn to enjoy the process. The moment. The things along the way. The journey.
Most of your life is the journey and not the destination. I don’t want to miss out along the way as I push to the destination. But so often we get fixated on the next that we overlook the now.
It helps if you take times of reflection. Moments that stand out as joyful times. For example, the end of someone’s journey in life is often the time to not only reflect on their journey but also to see where tweaks are needed in your own. Are your priorities correct? Is it time well spent? Are you enjoying the journey?
So how do you accomplish this? In addition to reflection, I think it also helps to put the journey into your schedule. Sort of like scheduling spontaneity. It creates a habit. Scheduling time to enjoy life. Smile a bit more. Be with those you love. Make the memories that you want to have at the end of your journey.
#Beingaleader means you are in this for the long haul. Don’t miss out on the journey.
