Life is a Journey not a Destination

I am a very goal oriented person. I set a goal and I reach it and then I set a new goal and I reach it. That is how I have lived my whole life. I wanted to graduate college, get married, get a job, have children, etc. I have done all those things, acheiving each goal with single minded purpose. I have had more than one person say, "stop and smell the roses" "enjoy life, have some fun". I know it is good to be organized and have goals, but I also know I should enjoy life more and have fun. Instead of seeing the fun as getting in the way of achieving the goal, I need to see it as part of achieving the goal and as part of being a person. Many important things in life cannot be summed up in a goal. Loving your children and forming relationships with other people aren't goals. But those things are much more important than many of the goals I set for myself. The Bible tells us to live for today and let tomorrow take care of itself. I'm trying to make that my new "goal".
