The Word of the Day…Journey

ByThe Dude
“It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

Nobody tells you that when you start. You just pick a direction and go.

Some days the road is smooth. Some days you’re white-knuckling it through weather you didn’t see coming. Either way, you’re moving. Either way, something is happening to you — and in you.

We’ve all been on a few roads. None of them went exactly where we thought. Every single one took us somewhere worth going.

That’s the thing about a journey. You don’t get to know the end before you start. You just have to trust the road.

  • The Wedge

    ByThe Dude

    “You don’t have to move mountains. Sometimes you just have to hold the space.”~Unknown~ Sometimes the people we love are pushing a boulder up a hill. And our first instinct is to run up behind them and push as hard as we can. Big push. Good intentions. But sometimes the boulder rolls right back anyway…

  • Tools That Serve You

    ByThe Dude

    “The key to digital minimalism isn’t to vilify technology but to develop a philosophy that helps you determine what tools serve you and what tools don’t.”~Cal Newport~ Nobody’s saying throw the phone in the river. Your phone’s not the enemy. It’s a tool — same as a hammer, same as a boat. The question was…
