Journey

We can get so caught up in our actions and in our future plans that once we achieve our goals we just create new ones. For me I seem to be going up and down and this is life. I guess enjoy the highs and reflect on the lows, however to get yourself up as quickly as possible that is the key.

The destination will come; it is all about the journey, the learnings and the insights along the way. This is what makes it all worthwhile what you did to get there.

I was reading about another channel nine news reader who finally fell pregnant after 11 attempts of assisted conception (IVF)! What a journey she has had thus far, and I know where she is coming from, we too have been there and it took us 9 attempts! The journey is just that the path to the ultimate prize: motherhood.

Our journey has taken us to many places in our hearts and minds, emotionally jam-packed and definitely made us closer as a couple. We have weathered many disappointments and heart-ache and now I am glowing at being six months pregnant.

The journey continues…. Or as some people say, this journey has just begun! I like to view this as a start of a new chapter in our lives, one that we anxiously await. Yet today I am grateful to have the time to get organized and ready for the new arrival. Feels like my ‘To Do List’ just keeps growing and I need to put it in perspective. A good friend told me that her parents were not financial when she and her brother came so for the first few months their bed was the laundry basket! Well you make do with what you have and get practical.

Recently watching the Olympics many competitors had goals for gold, many didn’t achieve this, it was about the journey to get there and compete at that prestigious level. That is an achievement in itself! Many athletes had taken years and countless hours preparing for their event, to simply show themselves and the world what they could do. Amazing journeys had by many.

Sure they want a token to show for it, and to be at that elite level. Yet many have realized that showing up at that level is in fact a gold wining performance!

Journeys take us places; we need to enjoy the moments and what they are, even if we want to run away from them, we are having the greatest gift of all, learning who we need to become to overcome our own obstacles.

Oh and if you want something bad enough: NEVER, NEVER give up! We didn’t and we will keep on our positive energy to continue to manifest those amazing and inspiring goals.
