It´s like you get started in one direction and pick up speed, and you may forget where you´re going and why, but the momentum takes you there anyway. Only, you find out when you arrive that it isn´t where you wanted to be.

About This Quote

You may start off for one goal or another, but if you keep going at the same speed, you will never arrive.

The longer you travel towards your destination, the more you realize that it is not where you wanted to be and that's why you're driving there.
