Enjoy The Race

Good morning,

It’s Friday and that’s reason to smile! Last week’s Sunny Note encouraged big goals, because the bigger our goals the more we’re likely to achieve. Yet as we’re pursuing our dreams, let’s not forget that while the destination is important:

The journey matters most.

In business and life, it’s easy to get so focused on the finish line that we forget to enjoy the race. Enjoying the race is especially important since some finish lines won’t be reached. We might change direction, reevaluate our priorities or – sorry to mention the morbid truth – drop dead before we get there.

Inevitably, big goals involve big hurdles to overcome. That’s just part of the journey. And maybe we’ll reach the finish line, maybe we won’t. Either way, if we enjoy the race, compete with integrity and learn from the hurdles along the way, then no matter what – we are winners.

So here’s to the journey – and a sunny day!
