Every destination requires a journey. How well you travel can be as important as getting to the destination.
So I’m at the airport, I’m just about to leave and Honolulu airport has got this cool causeway that’s actually open to the planes so you can watch them! (See Video)
You know I love coming to airports whenever I am travelling somewhere. There is this sense of excitement about where I am going. Whether it’s off on a new adventure or if it’s heading home to see my family as I am now. There’s that sense of excitement of the new destination and the expectancy of what’s going to happen…. But you know almost as much as I love coming to the airport, I hate long plane rides. I’m about to get on a plane trip that is over 10 hours long and I don’t like it! But that’s life, isn’t it?
Sometimes to get to your destination, you’ve got to go through a long journey…
to get to your destination, you've got to go through a long journey... Share on XAny kind of growth, any kind of development, requires a journey of process. It requires hard slogs, step by step towards where you are going.
The interesting thing about journey’s though is, that is where your real character comes out.
it's the journey's where your real character comes out. Share on XOn a long plane trip, you’re crammed in with other people you don’t know, and it requires patience, it requires tolerance, it requires courtesy. It requires me to eat things I don’t like, it requires me to talk to people I wouldn’t normally talk to… You know there’s all sorts of opportunities for character development that come out on a long journey. Interestingly this is usually your true character emerges when you’re under pressure.
When you’re on the journey towards your destination, that’s when your true character shows. Use that time to grow, use that time to develop your character and internal fortitude, because when you arrive at your destination it’s that character that will carry you through to the next faze of your life.

Please share this video and blog if you know someone that needs to hear it and give me some kind of reaction… a thumbs up or thumbs down or comment.
Look forward to talking to you again real soon when I’m on the ground in Australia… Be well.
