I just received a "Quote of the day email" from an old friend of mine who has made it his daily habit to send out a quote each day to what I can only imagine has become a list of thousands of email addresses.
It said:
"Satisfaction does not come with achievement, but with effort."
Mahatma Gandhi
I often quote Gandi. How did this pearl of wisdom escape my attention prior to today.
How very true this statement rings for me. I am not happy with the things that I accomplish. I never have been. I have climbed three corporate ladders and fallen from the pinnacle each time. As soon as I stop moving, I start falling. Professionally, or personally. I am not satisfied with accomplishment. It is the effort that it takes to accomplish things that brings me joy.
I prefer the road to the destination.
