Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, said at the Silicon Slopes Summit on October 13: “Sometimes people are so looking forward to the next thing..that they forget the real joy of life is the journey.”
I feel that for the last couple of months, I have been so focused on my next task that had to be done, class to be taught, appointment to attend, shift to work, that I have been missing the ‘joy in the journey.’ I haven’t been blogging consistently or doing my Family History or even spending much time in my garden. Even recognizing that I was living too much in the ‘future,’ I am still struggling to live in the moment. To be able to choose my activities so that I am doing those things that help me be in the moment–daily meditation, daily prayer and scripture study, weekly temple attendance, journaling, physical activity, getting outside, spending time with family, and doing Family History–is still challenging despite my personal understanding that I am happier when I do those things.
How do you stay in the moment? Find joy in the journey?
