Attempt at Inspiration?

Most the time my points are pretty silly and just here to hopefully entertain but today I'm going to try and be inspirational/motivating. I kinda doubt those are the right words that describe it but I wanted to talk about it anyway and I think it's kinda inspirational/motivating...then again I'm biased. Anyway here we go!

This is James Maslow...I want his puppy

So I was watching the last three weeks of Dancing with the Stars when it was on mainly because James Maslow was on it...and because for some reason I became obsessed with dancing and yeah. Anyway James got 4th (he should have gotten 3rd in my opinion but whatever) and when that happened I immediately thought how I would feel about it. Through my thought process I immediately hoped that if I were on the show I would do my best but not care if I won or not. Weird reasoning, yes, but here's why: It's all about the journey. I'm sure you've heard the saying "It's about the journey, not the destination" or something like that (for some reason my I'm having a major brain fart and can't remember what exactly it was but that's close enough). Well I decided that the destination is what motivates you and the journey is what you remember.

We will use Dancing with the Stars as an example. What motivates each contestant is winning the mirror ball that's where they want to end up, their destination they want to reach. The journey is all the weeks they fought to stay in the contest. All of those dances, the reactions, the hard work, that's what they are going to remember. Even if they didn't make it to the finals or even the 5th week, they are going to remember what they learned and the excitement, pain, and everything else they experienced. To me that is so much better.

If you don't get to a certain destination or goal that you were really fighting for don't give up. Look back on everything you went through and experienced on your journey. I'm sure there is something there that will make it worth it even if you didn't make it to the end destination. Did you learn something? Did you meet someone new? Did you do something you never would have done?

Well there you go. That's my attempt at being inspirational/motivating. It sounded a lot cooler in my head (which happens way too often for my own good). I hope you enjoyed it. Stay classy and remember the journey not the fact that you didn't reach your destination.
