Living with intent and setting intentions

A former boss once told me that goals are all well and good but it is important to remember to enjoy the journey.

The point is that if we are so focused on the ultimate goal lots of things can fall by the wayside in the singular pursuit of those goals. Relationships, friendships, pleasure, fun just for the sake of fun, learning, exploring, relaxing, reflecting, observing what’s around us. It can all past by in a blur when we live on autopilot in the pursuit of a goal.
