ENJOY THE JOURNEY

My piano teacher said something profound.

Me: “I’d like to play Moonlight Sonata.”

Kristen: “Do you want to play Moonlight Sonata or do you want the experience of learning it?”

At first, I was confused.

But then it hit me.

I wanted the outcome: playing the song. 

Kristen was suggesting I enjoy the process of learning music.

Why does this matter?

In many areas of life, we focus too much on the end goal and forget to enjoy the journey. 

Fulfillment comes from the learning and figuring things out , not just the “song.”
