The Journey Itself Quotes

“LIFE IS A JOURNEYLife on earth is a JOURNEY where the only certainty is the final STOP: DEATH.But as we journey on towards DEATH, we can create little STOPS along the way,These STOPS can give us a sense of purpose in life, something to work towards to, something to aim for,But let’s not get hung up with these stops ‘cos not all stops are what we expect them to be,For every stop that meets our expectations, there are many other stops that can be disappointing,Just like running towards the next bus-stop to get away from the rain only to find out that there is no shelter or someone has vandalised the shelter,So instead of getting all fixed up on the stops, focus on the JOURNEY,Enjoy the JOURNEY and stop whenever you feel like stopping to enjoy and savour the moment,And lend a helping hand to someone along the JOURNEY,For the stops and destinations are not as important as the JOURNEY itself.”

“Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.”

“For most of my life I have thought of grace as a hope of a bright tomorrow in spite of the darkness of today--and this is true. In this way we are all like Pamela, walking a road to grace--hoping for mercy. What we fail to realize is that grace is more than our destination, it is the journey itself, manifested in each breath and with each step we take. Grace surrounds us, whirls about us like the wind, falls on us like rain. Grace sustains us on our journeys, no matter how perilous they may be and, make no mistake, they are all perilous. We need not hope for grace, we merely need to open our eyes to its abundance. Grace is all around us, not just in the hopeful future but in the miracle of now.”

“I felt as though I owned the whole world. And little wonder, because at no time are we ever in such complete possession of a journey, down to its last nook and cranny , as when we are busy with preparations for it.

“The journey itself is my home.”

“Happiness is not a destination but the journey itself.”

“The meaning of life is life itself. The reward of love is love itself. The joy of the journey is not in the destination but in the journey itself.”

“The journey itself is going to change you, so you don’t have to worry about memorizing the route we took to accomplish that change.”

“The territorialism and desire to possess things comes directly from the ego, which strives to own and control things. Your spirit already knows you own nothing. It is a matter of realizing that your happiness does not depend on your ownership of things. They help you in your journey but they are not the journey itself.”
