Slow Down & Have Fun, #610

In this episode, we talk more about having fun. So often we are in a hurry to get somewhere. You are on the way to the ski hill. Is it only fun when you are there, or is the trip good too? That is your choice. I finally have learned that joy is the journey. It took me a long time to realize that simple truth. I had a counselor helping me with my depression asked me once if I would enjoy helicoptering down from the top of the mountain after I rode the ski lift up. Of course not. The point is the run down the mountain. His point was that rushing always to get to the next place, the next win, the next experience deprives us of the substance of our lives. That substance is the experiences we have along the way.
