The journey

So I recently heard a professor say in a lecture, "that with every step forward we take the farther our destination seems." My initial thought was that makes no sense the more I move forward the closer my destination becomes. It is like a law of physics. Then I caught the word seems. It is true when I find the ambition to begin a journey metaphorically or literally it is not till i begin that i realize how much work I have ahead of me. The more time i invest in this journey or task, the more I realize how much time it is actually going to require of me. Then the final stretch, where the destination is clearly visible always seems to take the longest time. I am tired, and really ready for my work to pay off. That moment when that destination is always the beginning of some other kind of journey. The moment when the journey ends, so does life. Conclusion? The journey metaphorically or literally is ultimately life. The majority of time is spent working towards the destination or goal. Time spent at the destination is usually minute or in comparison to the journey or it is a journey of its own. Enjoy the time spent getting to where you want to be, because when you get there you will miss the journey. (all my blogs are shitty metaphors now it seems)
