The Journey is as Important as the Destination

in photofeed •  7 years ago 

With your eyes set solely on where you need to be it can be easy to ignore all the experiences and knowledge to be gained along the way. It's worth slowing down and looking around once in a while and not stressing about being late or not achieving your goals. Once you reach your goals it's important to remember how you got there. It will help you to appreciate your achievements and give you the knowledge to teach others how they can enjoy their personal journey.

I'm off to the GP in Melbourne now. I'll be above the pits in the Paddock Club getting my ears destroyed by the F1 cars as they tear down the straight.

Lindis Pass in New Zealand. Not so much a destination as a stopping point on the journey through New Zealand. Your time in NZ will be better off for stopping here and taking in the view.

This quote can be adapted in so many aspects of our lives... and it's so true! Beautiful photo... and enjoy your day!

Thanks! Have a great day too!

I did... thank you!! : )

That's incredible!

Cheers!

Incredible picture and message @kieranstone!

Your text summarizes what I tell my friends when they say it's easier to take a plane instead of going by bike or hitchhiking.
They are missing all the fun of the pathway.

Even a plane can be fun. I like the idea of a long flight where I don't have to do anything other than eat, drink and watch movies 😁

Such a beautiful photo! New Zealand is spectacular!

It sure is!

Agreed. Though in New Zealand you can stop just about anywhere and it’s “destination” worthy, heh

It is very hard to get anywhere in NZ 😅

Great shot with very good lines!!

Thank you very much 😃

Man, I need to get to New Zealand! So sick Kieran

It is a photograhers playground!

how soft the tones are. My favorite color!
perfect compose. always wonderful!
Congratulations my friend

Thank you very much 😃

Resteemed!

Legends! Thanks for your support!

Thought you weere going to the doctor for a sec there XD Wear ear protection? Enjoy the cars going round and round XP And that's a really nice winding hills kinda shot, definitely looks worth a stop.

goatsig

lol, this GP was much more fun than the doctor GP. The cars weren't as loud as another time I've been. The best was the F/A-18 Fighter Jet

Wow looks like it could be in Scotland!

Not enough mist and cloud :D

Hahaha true!

Thanks mate!

That's an awesome photo, but forgive me for jumping to your second paragraph...

HOW DID YOU GET IN TO THE MELBOURNE GP PADDOCK???

That is awesome.

I'm a huge Formula 1 fan, and the Melbourne GP has long been a favourite race (and a favourite track in sim racing). The Melbourne GP is my official signal for the arrival of spring.

That said, this is first year in many that I missed the race live. Blame travel and Steemit for messing with all my normal habits.

I hope you do a post about it! :D

I was invited 😉
Not sure if you saw my story posts on IG. I'll see if I can whip up a post with some phone content for you 😅

So awesome, yeah, I saw some of those! :D

Eeeeeeepppppppiiiiiiccccccccc.

That's all I have to say. 🙂

Ttttthhhhhhaaaannnnnnnkkkkkkkssssss!
😁😝

Great. Ever since I drove through this pass a couple of years ago, I thought this might look great with some looming clouds. When I passed it was a blue sky. This here, really looks great and dramatic.

I've seen it with snow, blue sky and also with clouds. Looks good in any condition :)

How was the GP?

It was a really great day out. Loved the F/A 18 flying over. That was the main reason I wanted to go ;)

WOW! Amazing view :-) When I see it, I hear music from "The Lord of the Rings" in my head :-)

All of New Zealand is a bit like that :D
