Which matters more to you? The destination or the journey you take to get there.

This saying may mean different things to different people.

It can mean that stopping to smell the roses and and enjoy your way to your goals is important.

It can also mean that the little things you do on your journey add up to get you to your destination.

On the other hand, it can also mean that all of life is a journey that never ends. There's only the illusion of there being a destination to reach.

What does it mean to you, and how do you feel about this saying?

I'm inspired by the philosophical alternatives it inspires for different perspectives on what life really means, what we are all doing here, and how we go about it. When I first heard it, what I do in each moment became more important than rushing towards the next goal. No more missing out on all of the little things.

I packed the kids in my car and took a spontaneous trip to join a Rainbow Family Gathering and just breathe, live, relax, and enjoy the here and now.

I no longer had end goals for working out, just learning to enjoy the act of working out and viewing fitness as a side effect of that rather than a goal. Fitness suddenly became a fun habit rather than a chore.

I focused on just enjoying the simplest natural foods rather than dieting. Having a massive bowl of fresh fruits and veggies for breakfast and lunch without any obsession. Just enjoying the taste and look of something healthy for me. Again, my health and fitness became side effects rather than stress ridden goals.

On road trips it became much more common to pause many times along the way. On vacations, winging it on a daily basis became normal.

Big career goals and pushing to work harder and harder became things that either happen or don't based on our own personal enjoyment with our work.

Hear me out. I absolutely love dogs, i love playing with them, cuddles, stroking, taking them for walks. Etc but i absolutely detest the barking. Its not only giving me headaches, its keeping me awake at night and waking me up when im not ready (i need a good 10 hours sleep to function during the day) theyre in the kennels if u haven't guessed already. I read its heavily against leaving them in kennels for long periods of time too

Its 1am and i can hear them barking, i had 5 hrs sleep last night so i feel ready to go to sleep now but also feel my headaches getting worse. I've had a sever minegrane (sp) so they're probably not helping it. But theyve been there for years but its lately just getting worse. I can even hear them When were in the front room roraring so i dont think moving rooms would even be the answer (i do go into my mums as i dont hear them in there but she snores so that also wakes me up), theyve been barking till 2am some nIghts lately

I read on some forum someone tried to get something done but they wouldn't due to them Not barking during the night but ours are

Its A bit awkward to talk to the neighbours due to it being behind our back garden. Its not like its the same estate. I was thinking of leaving a note ontop of the fence or something like that😂

Im also concerned about their well being that accessive barking means theyre not being looked after properly. My brother and sister s dogs dont bark that much
