How to Enjoy the Journey (in 3 steps)

You can be happy every single moment.

If anyone says otherwise, even if that might be your own thoughts…

Screw them.

Life is a cycle of pain and happiness? Screw that too.

If you don’t enjoy the journey, it will be difficult to reach the destination. But even if you do, you’ll feel the same way you do now.

Just with tons of more regret because you haven’t enjoyed the process.

Do you want that regret? Hell no.

I’ll tell you today how to work towards your dreams, whatever they might be… AND enjoy every single moment of your life.

FIRST, RECONCILE YOUR PAST

Each of us has our own past.

Some of us may have had it rougher. Some of us don’t really remember it. Some of you might have really painful traumas.

That’s painful, and real.

But what will you do?

Why are you here? Reading my article?

You’re here because you want to change yourself.

You want to be happy.

And to be happy and start enjoying life, you must reconcile your past.

However difficult it may be.

Realize that the past is holding you by your knees. It’s a pain. It’s a shadow that feeds of your suffering and suffocative stagnation.

To move on, you must free yourself of that shadow.

Let it go.

Forgive.

It’s difficult. Painful. Almost impossible. I know.

But there’s no other choice. What else are you going to do?

Let go and move on.

Cry it out of yourself. Share your pain with people willing to listen.

You’ve had it hard. But you’re here now.

You’re here for a reason. You want to change.

BE GRATEFUL FOR THE PRESENT

And be grateful for the past.

Whatever may have happened.

You might have regrets for your failures or your laziness.

But you can’t do anything about it now.

Now you move on and get stronger.

Now you empower yourself with gratitude about what you have.

The second part of mastering the art of enjoying the journey is to practice gratitude for everything you have.

Be grateful for having the basic needs met. We have forgotten to appreciate the little things in life.

Be grateful for the support you have in life, however small it may be. It means life wants you to succeed and be happy.

Be grateful for any small wins that you have. Appreciate your past self for trying. Pat yourself on the back.

Be grateful for all the opportunities that await in the present and future. You’re alive and you’re free to do whatever you want. Create your own opportunities.

And try to maintain this state of gratitude.

Gratitude is powerful because it changes ourselves from the state of scarcity to state of abundance.

If you’re grateful for what you have, it means that you’re not stuck in the mindset of scarcity and lack.

You’re happy for what you have. You’re ready to share and to care. This is the only way to receive more happiness and joy.

If you’re needy, you won’t get anything.

Only by maintaining the state of abundance can you receive more of what you want.

You attract what you are. So be careful what kind of state you’re in and what kinds of emotions you’re indulging.

GET EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE

This is the last piece of the puzzle.

Fire yourself up.

Get excited with all the possibilities that await.

Get excited with your dreams and visions.

You only live once. So make it worth it.

Whatever you have imagined for yourself. Work towards it relentlessly.

Whoever says you can’t do it. Screw them. I’m here to tell you that you can do it. And you must do it. And I will do whatever I can to help you achieve your dreams.

Make an exciting vision for your life so that just thinking about it fires you up.

We live in an era of endless resources for learning, growth and opportunity to reach people of similar interests through the Internet.

There’s was no better time to be alive.

Whatever you imagine for yourself. You have the tools and ways. You just need a solid plan and then just keep executing and improving.

Unless you give up, you’re bound to succeed. But even if you fail, it will be worth it because you stayed true to yourself and your dreams.

But you won’t fail. If your dream is one of love and care and if it’s aimed at providing value for other people, then there’s no force there to stop you.

The world needs more people like you to create more positivity and love. So unless your dream is corrupt, you won’t fail unless you yourself give up. And giving up is not an option.

ENJOY THE JOURNEY

Don’t ever lower your standards of happiness and productivity.

You can have it all.

You can maximize your happiness, your health, energy and your success.

We do not make compromises.

We’re greedy in this sense because we want to reach our highest selves so that we can serve more and more people through our care, love and through our work.

So don’t ever compromise.

If you’ve read all the way to here, it means that you have power within you. You have the desire. You want to be successful and enjoy the process at the same time.

Keep feeding that emotion.

Listen to your intuition. Make necessary changes. Keep improving, and never settle.

Did you get fired up?
