Finding the Magic in Your Journey

9/23/2019

 
We are all about beginnings and endings.

It's exciting to start a new project or finally reach a long-term goal.

But whether it's weight loss, saving a certain amount of money or becoming a better trial attorney, the magic is in the middle.

The middle, however, isn't as exciting as the beginning or end. It's not fun to try things and fail. It's not super sexy to not be great at something the first time you try it.

But the middle is where you change and grow, and if you don't stop to enjoy the process of reaching your goal, you'll miss the best part.

For example, I'm on a journey to lose weight. Sure, it will be nice to reach my goal weight eventually, but I'm loving the journey. 

I know it's hard to believe, but I am actually enjoying the entire process of losing weight.

I'm learning how to love myself at any size. I'm learning how to show up for myself when I'd rather quit. I'm learning to keep commitments to myself. In other words, I'm becoming the person I want to be NOW instead of waiting until I hit my goal.

How many of you embrace the journey to becoming the best trial attorney you can be? Although it can be hard at times, I'm telling you, what you're learning NOW is where it's all at.

We all want to believe there's a pot of gold waiting for us at the end of the rainbow. We tell ourselves that once we meet our goal THEN we'll finally be happy. The problem is, it doesn't work that way. ​

​Results don't bring happiness. Effort does. Doing the work to lose weight, save money, become a trial attorney is where the happiness is but most of us miss it because we're so focused on the end result.

The journey is way more fun than the destination, but only if you embrace the magic in the middle.
