Amongst my circle of friends we often talk about "journeys".We use it to describe the "process" rather than the end results. This comes about after much experience with things ending up in the last place you'd expect. The whole ability to give up the need to control the "end", appreciate the road travelled.
I have internalized this to such an extent that now when people ask me what my goals are---I can't answer. I just know that I won't define it--and prefer to enjoy the "journey" and wonder in awe where it will take me.
Yum!!
