We all know the saying, “The joy is in the journey, not the destination.” But what does that mean?

For me, it means finding happiness and contentment in everyday moments and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. It’s about being grateful for what we have instead of always longing for more.

It sounds so trite, but it’s true that often the small things in life are what bring us the most happiness. A sunny day after a string of rainy ones; a hot cup of coffee on a cold morning. Or a phone call or text from a friend when you need it. These are all little things that can brighten our day and make us feel good.

Next time you find yourself feeling down or stressed out, take a step back and look around for some small thing to appreciate. It might be enough to turn your whole outlook around!
