#40 Destination“Wherever you go, there you are.”We often become so caught up in our destination that we fail to notice the methods we are utilizing to arrive at it. We disregard living in the present as we intently daydream of the future.How do we approach our goals? Are they pragmatic? Are they obtainable?
