I've always known I'm all about the destination. Moving relentlessly towards the goal, most assuredly missing some of the joys and rewards of the journey. (But I had a job to do!)

Now that I've retired, and the goals seem to be less defined or not as restrictive, retraining the synapses to slow down a little and seize the moment isn't that easy, but the rewards are plentiful. As an example, I found a little waterfall on a hike today that I've just walked by dozens of times in the past, because taking the spur trail wasn't part of the plan that I had set out to accomplish.

So, what's your makeup? Have you always put more emphasis on the journey, even if it means you might miss the goal? Or is the mission to reach the end, and then move on to the next task?
