"The treasure we seek in life doesn’t lie at the destination"
Simplified meaning
Finding happiness or fulfillment isn't just about reaching a specific goal or destination. Imagine you're on a long hike to the top of a mountain. You might think that the best part of the hike will be reaching the summit, but along the way, you experience beautiful views, meet friendly fellow hikers, and feel a sense of accomplishment as you overcome challenges. These moments during the journey contribute significantly to your overall satisfaction and joy. In life, it's often the experiences, learning, and personal growth that happen while you're working towards something that bring true value. Instead of only focusing on the end result, appreciating and being aware of the small, meaningful moments on the way can enrich your life. This mindset can help you feel more content and fulfilled, even before achieving your main goals.
