That you miss the place you are passing through.
You’re always on the way to somewhere. It might be a literal place; it could be a metaphorical place. It might be a new physical location; it could be a goal. It might be a tangible change; it could be a renewed internal state of being.
Whatever that might be for you today, in this very moment or in this season of life, don’t be in such a hurry. The destination isn’t everything. It’s what happens in the meantime that counts. All the little moments, all the unexpected and potentially insignificant opportunities to simply be alive and be present to the world around us.
We are not static beings. We are constantly in motion, ever-changing and capable of seeing things from a slightly new angle with each step we take. But we can be so focused on the destination that we miss the importance of each foot stepping in front of the other.
Your life is the sum of all of your moments, not the big goals you strive to achieve. Pay attention, be present, and enjoy where your feet land today.
Sometimes the most beautiful things happen in between.
