successes and crisis.
“the journey and path are more
important than the destination.”
this quote means a lot to me, especially when i am at the point of my life trying to figure out what i want to be and who i want to become. as said in the quote, the journey and path are more important than the destination, i think this quote is trying to say that the path, the small little stepping stones of your life you are given when you are younger, really represent how you will go in your journey. the journey is filled with successes, failures, trials, tribulations, and wonders, but that is the exciting part of the journey. your path can take you on a whole different journey, somewhere you never expected, but it is important to remember that the journey is more exciting, and is way more beneficial in finding your destination and where you will end up in life.“we have nothing
to fear but fear itself.”
fear is a concept we use to describe a phobia, or that we are scared of something. we shouldn't have anything to fear, as fear is what we are scared of. we are scared of failing, falling, making mistakes, doing something wrong, but all these are the initial concept of fear: we are scared of the concepts behind fear, but we are not scared of the word itself. Rather, we are scared about things that do not exist, that do not live within us or around us, rather, we are scared about fear, because its concepts are what we are afraid of.there is no stone definition of 'living a successful life', rather, it is the act of achieving, whether it be small, or huge, successes can be in many forms. for example, winning a race, getting a good mark on a test, and receiving praise from the crowd after a performance. these are all examples of success. Having a lot of money, running a successful business empire or cooperation, or winning many awards, sure these are examples of success, but are all these materialistic objects just the only way to reach success? is just having a lot of money the only way to be successful? Today, we have turned success into a materialistic process. 'If you do not have a lot of money, you are a failure, not a successor'. But what about those struggling, such as those below the poverty line, what if someone finally was able to live somewhere warm, is that not an example of success? Not only to work for it and earn it, but to try?
