This mantra is one that I have cherished for many years. I was 39, I think,
when I came across these words as a slogan for a new business venture. In
my journey through life, I had never stopped to consider my destination but
instead became consumed with the journey. As I began slowing down and
observing other people around me, I realized we are all guilty of moving at the
speed of light through life, never having a sense of where we are going and
confusing accomplishments, accolades, and money for happiness. And so,
my true journey began!
For these last two years, I‘ve been on a never-ending roller coaster ride to hell
and back, with the entire universe waiting in line for their turn. Covid-19 shook
us to our core. Although the pandemic is still devastating, it came at a crucial
time when we all needed a reset.
While the world was put on hold for months, I was able to slow down and
focus on myself. I used this time to consider my past, present, and future and
discovered that while I felt comfortable, I was not genuinely happy or living up
to my personal full potential. Although I have had moments and days of
happiness, I have lacked true happiness. Most importantly, I felt professionally
stagnant and mediocre as it related to my career. I started paying attention to
how monotonous life has been for me and realized that I didn’t just want to be
comfortable anymore. I needed inner peace and fulfillment. I didn’t want to
continue having happy moments, I needed to experience real happiness, and
most importantly, I could no longer remain stuck in a place where
professionally I was empty! So, I decided I wasn’t staying there anymore thus
The Journey Within…Me was given life! I am so glad I have arrived at my
true soul’s destination!
