…..Enjoy The Ride….☀☀


I read the article below in a devotional and I thought I’d share. I am one of those people that usually , "rush to the next moment”,wants to know what is “over the horizon”,need to have things planned out way ahead(Don’t get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with planning and aspiring)…But I have learnt and still learning to enjoy each Moment(Good or Bad), each Friendship, each Relationship, each Position, each Neighborhood, each Opportunity and Disappointment ..etc….Life, as they say, is a journey…..

JOY IN THE JOURNEY

Famous UCLA basketball coach John Wooden led one of the greatest dynasties in sports history, winning 10 NCAA Championships in 12 years. Toward the end of his life, he was asked what one day from his storied career he would choose to re-live if given the chance. His answer may surprise you.
Given his professional achievements, you’d think Coach Wooden would be eager to re-live one of his national championships, his selection into the Hall of Fame, or one of his teams’ greatest come-from-behind victories. Instead, he suggested he would conduct one more day of practice in the gym. Why? Because, he said, “each day of practice was, by far, the most fulfilling, exciting, and memorable thing I did as a coach. That’s where I taught those under my supervision how to achieve success as members of a team.”

Coach Wooden saw something we often miss. While it’s easy to believe that our deepest joy comes from the mountaintop experiences of our lives, it’s finding meaning and purpose in our day-to-day activities that brings true satisfaction.
