Finding Joy in The Journey
I’ve gone fishin’…
…in the backwoods of southern Wyoming.
Off the grid, except for a few minutes each day to plug in and write to you.
Yesterday, I bushwacked through willows. I stood in the center of mountain streams for hours. I threw a few hundred casts, and….
…I caught one fish.
There’s a new guy in our group — he’s never fished before — and he caught five.
That all adds up to what should have been a “disappointing” day for me, but…
…it was one of the best days of my life.
I gazed at some of the most beautiful scenery in the galaxy.
I watched a bald eagle glide overhead and then use wind currents to rise upward — almost as if sucked by a vacuum in the heavens.
I saw a young coyote spring from the brush, bounce up the mountainside, and turn for one last look at me when he felt safe enough to pause.
Find joy in the journey.
I admit: I would have enjoyed catching 21 fish, instead of just one.
But some days, the measurable goals allude us.
We can still enjoy the ride. We must enjoy the ride.
So it goes while fishing. So it goes in business.
That’s all for now. I’m going to unplug and try for a few more fish today.
Meanwhile, my online store has not gone fishing. It runs 24/7, and it’s the place where you can get:
