Enjoy Your Arrival

“You’ve arrived at your destination.”

It doesn’t matter the Maps Application you use on your phone or your GPS device. They all operate the same way. “Make a left in 1/4 mile, at East Johnson Street… Your destination is on your right in 400 ft… You’ve arrived at your destination.”

“You’ve arrived” is a indication of success in traveling. It means the GPS is accurate. It means you were given proper directions. It means you followed them.

“You’ve arrived” is never a measurement of success in life. Why? Because you don’t ever get to the destination. No one ever arrives. There is only the route, the journey.

However, in life, there is a different type of arrival, a different kind of destination.

You’re already there!

Here. Now. In this place.
At your desk.
With your kids.
In that seat.
Talking with that friend.
It is your destination because you have already arrived.

The challenge is to avoid living with a GPS perspective in a non-GPS existence. Always waiting, looking, striving to arrive at the destination that’s in a 1/4 mile means you drive past the one you’re currently at.

You’ve already arrived.
Now, fully be here.
Enjoy your arrival.
