Hello Paul - I think there is likely "something" to be found in each.  Of course, the definition of "something" is worthy of a lifetime of exploration in itself.

As always, I have to agree with your summation Michael Jacobs

Good morning Paul. If the destination is perfection you are always on the journey. Always room for improvement. Enjoy your day.

Sometimes it's not easy to enjoy the journey (for example, on a crowded and uncomfortable plane ride) but doing so does make life more fun.

Good morning, Paul... I'll take a bit of exception to the message in this quote. I'm all about the journey, but there's also something very satisfying about completing some journeys.

Hi Paul- I love this quote because I believe it!  There are times that we are so focused on where we want to go, we forget to enjoy the NOW.
