Female: What is more important, the journey or the destination?
Executive Coach Libby Gill demonstrates how seeking happiness is just as important as the end goal. Why be happy later when you can be happy now?
Libby: It is great to want to lose the wait or find a relationship or get that job but if you defer your happiness until that point or joyfulness or passion until that point then, you have missed the huge chunk of life.
I finally woke up one day and said—I worked really hard to get to where I want to be in the first place and now I got to look back at it and it was really an unpeeling and unraveling of all these lairs of family legacy and messages and self beliefs and it was just really just unraveling that whole sub perception to figure out who I was, what I want and what my gifts and talents were, how am I going to reach those goals and destinations that I have in mind?
Look back, do not dwell on the past, you visit, you think about it, you analyze and then you let it go, but it just really the look at where you came from. So you are not either neglecting to look at the pattern that you have established in your own life and not ignoring that or you are not dealing with the pain and emotion that you might still be pointing to.
And that might require that you work with a therapist or a minister or a rabbi or whatever you need to do to let go of something, of course you got to look at it. Like opening the door and shining the light in and once you have do that, you can begin to actively and consciously direct towards the future that you really want.
