“Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.”
This is an entirely new way of thought that I came across last week. I am not sure how much true it is but of-course this has some point too. Most important one seems to be this. I ( and may be many others ) live for the end moment, for the joy of acheving something. And always miss the joy of doing , the happiness of living in between these goals. yes. I have missed a lot. Now that I know how important it is to live enjoying the way I do it, enjoying each and every moment of it.. Yes thats how I can enjoy my life to the fullest ..
There is another point in it. ( may be because I am an economics graduate ) compare the quantity (..well thats sounds odd I know .. I am sure economics guys will agree with me ) the joy of doing is more almost always.
May be this version is correct ( I am still thinking and editing this post ) the joy of achieving your goal is different from the joy of working for it and we often forget to enjoy doing.
Go back to something you did, and think if you have missed doing it. Think again.. what were the things you could have enjoyed while doing it ? Then you will see that I have a point when I say you must learn how to enjoy doing. Please leave comments here if you agree with me

End is all that matters which can give you the culmination of happiness. Before i reach the end my way enjoyment is more to adventure, that is a different thing. What I mean to say is there are 2 kind of happiness one is before the reach and later is after the reach.
