[Learning & Growing - XIX]
It’s not the destination; it’s the journey.
It’s not the summit; it’s the hike and sights and wildlife (and the summit view is nice).
It’s not the harvest; it’s the cultivation, planting, and care (and the harvest is delicious, too).
It’s not the championship; it’s the trainings, the season, the team, and the growth (and winning feels great… don’t get me wrong).
At the center of the process, the journey, the mundane tasks from here to there, is a nucleus of magic, a core of inspiration, a touch of the divine.
Learning and growing is like this. If we attend to the process, stay curious, and keep our eyes wide open, we will encounter the infinite at the center of the finite, the divine at the heart of the material and mundane.
This awareness is as much a part of our needed growth as reaching our goals.
