“To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.”
— Robert Louis Stevenson
Simplified Meaning:
When people focus on and enjoy the journey itself rather than only thinking about their goal, they can find more happiness and satisfaction. Imagine a person who loves hiking; if they only care about reaching the top of the mountain, they might miss the beautiful flowers, the peaceful feeling of being in nature, and the joy of the experience along the way. This idea teaches us that the process of working towards our goals can bring a lot of fulfillment and excitement. Even if we don’t always get what we want, the things we learn and the fun we have while trying are valuable on their own. In our lives, we can apply this by appreciating every step we take towards a goal, whether it’s learning a new skill or working on a big project at work.
