This well-worn maxim originated from American author Ralph Waldo Emerson who wrote in his essay, Self-Reliance: Its not the destination, its the journey. His essay, intended to convince people to avoid conformity, stressed that for one to truly be significant he or she had to follow their own conscience and do your own thing. He contended that the process of creating is its own reward and that we can only feel relieved and happy in life when we pour our hearts into our work and do our best. Whatever destination it is that one is aiming for, the journey it takes to get If happiness is a journey and not a destination, then its the people that are with you on your journey that can make all the difference. "Application": "GoodreadsMonolith", "Events.SushiEndpoint": "https://unagi.amazon.com/1/events/com.amazon.csm.csa.prod", If you can't enjoy the journey, you will have little to no moments of enjoyment. One touch can show you care.".
