Amazing article!
As a matter of fact I was talking about this with a friend just a few days ago...what's the point in focusing only on the end goal, if it's all pain and suffering along the way? We spend WAY more time in the journey than at the goal itself: (e.g.) Let's supose my goal is to get a major in X - I suffer through the whole study and learning phase and get my major in X, and what happens? when I reach my major in X, life doesn't just stop there, it keeps going!
So why do we treat milestone goals as if they were permanent, instead of a new journey's beginning?
Many thanks, chbartist, for writing this article :D
