Is It Really Possible To Enjoy The Journey?
Tweet · Nov 08, 2024
We were in the hospital prep room before our baby was born today talking to the nurse about kids and how time flies.
She said something that was so true and honest, but no one says.
“Everyone tells you that time flies and to enjoy these moments, but with the stage you’re in right now when your kids are young, you almost can’t. You’re so deep in the trenches just trying to survive that it’s almost impossible to ‘enjoy the moments’. But, It will get better and you will get through it.”
First off— I love the honesty! More of that please.
Second— isn’t that such a great parallel to everything else in life worth doing. Everyone likes to say “enjoy the journey” or “it’s not about the destination”…
—All true, BUT while you’re in the trenches, it’s really freaking hard to pop your head up and look around.
My point: Whether it’s parenting or your business, when you’re in that grind, it’s tough. And that’s okay. You’ll get through it whether you’re “enjoying the journey” OR just trying to keep your head above water.
