Enduring

Sometimes it can feel like we’re enduring rather than living life. It’s like we’re trying to make it to the end of the day, the week, the month, rather than having fun or just being in the moment. It’s as if our outlook is to look ahead, wait for time to pass, rather than enjoying the time we have.

Is it because we’re bored, or is it because we’re more focused on making it to the destination rather than embracing the journey? If it’s the latter, then it could be that we’re trying to improve our lot–be somewhere else. Where we are isn’t where we want to be. We’re just going through the motions, trying to make it from day to day until we make it to our destination.

But making it to our destination comes with a caveat. Will we focus on the next destination, or will we start enjoying the moment?
