“I made up my mind not to care so much about the destination, and simply enjoy the journey.”

“I yearn not for the easy path, but for the right path.  For ‘easy’ and ‘right’ are rarely compatible.”

“What are the four ‘D’ steps that ensure success?1) DREAM2) DESIRE3) DETERMINATION4) DESTINATIONFollow these four ‘D’ steps, never giving up or doubting yourself along the way, and you will become the person you were meant to be. And that’s YOU!”

“A road often travelled has heavy traffic and you take more time to reach the destination.”

“The car was on the FDR drive now and, turning her head, she glanced out at the bleak brown buildings of the projects that stretched for blocks along the drive. Something inside her sank at the sight of all that sameness, and she suddenly felt defeated.She shifted uncomfortably in her seat. In the past year, she’d started experiencing these moments of desperate emptiness, as if nothing really mattered, nothing was ever going to change, there was nothing new; and she could see her life stretching before her–one endless long day after the next, in which every day was essentially the same. Meanwhile, time was marching on, and all that was happening to her was that she was getting older and smaller, and one day she would be no bigger than a dot, and then she would simply disappear. Poof! Like a small leaf burned up under a magnifying glass in the sun. These feelings were shocking to her, because she’d never experienced world-weariness before. She’d never had time. All her life, she’d been striving and striving to become this thing that was herself–the entity that was Nico O’Neilly. And then, one morning, time had caught up with her and she had woken up and realized that she was there. She had arrived at her destination, and she had everything she’d worked so hard for: a stunning career, a loving (well, sort of) husband, whom she respected, and a beautiful eleven-year-old daughter whom she adored.She should have been thrilled. But instead, she felt tired. Like all those things belonged to someone else.”

“Our journey, not our destination makes our finale special…”

“In this,journey,of reaching,to myself,I have had,many a,thoroughfares,goodbye affairs,reality checks,and,lovely overwhelms.”

“…we fail to live in the moment. We miss the laughter, beauty and joy in our midst, trading them for stress, frustration, anxiety and anger. We forge ahead consumed with the destination while missing the journey. In a sense, we’re taking God’s precious gift of presence and time and telling Him it isn’t what we want, that we don’t have the time.”

“You never know these days. Uninvited guests may force you to take an unplanned trip to an unknown destination; doesn’t hurt to be in your Sunday clothes.”

“I continuously see myself on an airplane that has unlimited fuel. I go here and there but can’t stop. Always flying over my destination. I’ve come to realize I must jump off with my parachute on of course. That is how I’m viewing my life right now.Once I find that loophole than I’ve reached my destination to success.”

“There are no destinations in the journey of love, it’s the name of a ceaseless pursuit of fragrances in the scorching deserts.”

“You’re responsible for your journey in life, no one else. You have to know the destination to go there. Others can show you the way, but no one can take you there.”

“Nobody wants to get lost in a homeless shelter, but you end up there if you don’t have a definite destination with a clear map.”
