Good Morning Friends,
?
Monday has arrived, I hope your weekend was one of happiness and joy?with time to relax and rejuvenate yourself. The winter weather and temperatures today and this week will make things difficult at Best. Be Safe out there! The story is brief today, but holds much wisdom, I hope you find it useful in your journey this week.

The?reason people find it so hard to be happy?is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be – Marcel Pagnol.

Life isn’t a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to?skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, latte in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ‘Woohoo WHAT A RIDE’!

The Journey Is The Reward
Everybody has dreams; some are born with them and some stumble upon their calling. I was no different; I too had a dream. When I would sleep, I would dream of living it; when I would get up, I would work for living it. One fine day, somebody told me, "To travel is better than to arrive." Back then I laughed it off, not quite understanding how that was even possible. And I didn't realize how true it was until I had what I wanted. That's when I was struck with a sudden realization that the person living the dream is different from the one who had worked for it. I have now become a wiser, calmer, stronger and more passionate person. The journey had transformed me. I made mistakes and learned from them. I fell down and learned to get up again. I cried and I learned to wipe my tears. I made friends and learned to value people. I made enemies and learned to value lessons. The journey had transformed a naive caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly, eagerly waiting to explore the world with her newly found wings. So friends, always remember: 'Experience is the best teacher and for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist.
Only the journey matters.' So here's to a new journey... CHEERS!!
