If you were to wake up tomorrow to a life where all your goals had been accomplished but had no memory of the work you put into succeeding, would you feel the happiness that you would have if you had completed your goals yourself? Probably not. Sure, perhaps you would live happily for a while given that you are suddenly living a dream life but in the long run something would be wrong. You wouldn’t have learned the lessons you needed to maintain this new lifestyle. You see, the success is found in the journey, not the finish line. You need to learn the lessons that come with working hard, failing, trying again, and, eventually, succeeding at living the life you have always wanted. Avina Celeste
About This Quote

There is a saying that goes, “If you want to be happy for a day, try staying that way. If you want to be happy for a year, try staying that way. If you want to be happy for a lifetime, try being the change you want to see in the world.” In other words, if your goal is to stay happy for a lifetime, don’t fight the inevitable ups and downs of life. Instead, embrace them as opportunities to learn new lessons and create positive change in your life. You may have setbacks but those setbacks will also turn into monumental victories based on what you learn from them.
