Enjoy the journey

What does happiness mean to you? Is it a journey, a destination or just a state of feeling at the moment of your life? Some people say that happiness is a journey (any road you take is a journey of happiness) while others say that it's a destination. But I wonder if it really is a destination, will we be able to reach it? Will we have enough time to think about how to get there? Do you think happiness is merely a destination or is it the journey itself that you consider as the happiness? Here's what I think, I can say that happiness means both the journey and the destination. The two terms always walk hand in hand and stand side by side. If you want to make happiness as your destination, you might as well enjoy the journey. Because if you're not, you'll miss a lot of things happen all along the journey. Who knows you can actually find happiness earlier when you're walking along the road toward happiness. But in the end, it's just some of my thought. Whatever it is that you want to think, it's all yours to make a conclusion.
Here's a quick reference from Robert Biswas-Diener, MS, founder of Meridian Life Coaching LLC and co-author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth

If you've done the math, you now realize that about 40% of your happiness is in your hands. Lasting happiness has more to do with how you behave and think, which you ultimately control more than many of life's circumstances.

"Happiness isn't the emotional finish line in the race of life," he says. It's a process and a resource. Biswas-Diener says there's a mountain of data showing that when people are happier, they become healthier and more curious, sociable, helpful, creative, and willing to try new things.
