I have a mug which I try to use as much as possible. It is not very fancy and average in size. It has a generic design on it, very simple. What makes it my favorite mug is what it says: It's not where or when you arrive -- It's taking the journey that counts. It is a reminder not to rush through my day and to enjoy as much of it as I can. I try to have fun all day long. The only thing that counds is this very minute.
We watched a movie called Click other night. It was funny and sad and had the same theme as on my mug. It was a very relatable movie. Sometimes I want to rush over the bad times or wish that they would end sooner or not have to deal with them at all.
Every moment of every day counts for something in life. Good or bad. It is what we build our character with. Lack of adversity builds a shallow character. We've all known someone who has had everything given to them. How deep of a person are they? Chances are, not very.
So I will go forward and live my life and savour every moment, good and bad. They are what makes me who I am.
