“The ancient code of the Knights Radiant clearly states “journey always before destination.” Some might call the same a simple platitude, and yet it is actually far more. A journey will have pain and times of struggle, and it is not only the steps forward that we must accept, but also the stumbles – the trials – the knowledge that we will at times fail – that we will hurt those around us and that we will be hurt by the same. And yet if we stop in those moments, if we submit to the person others (even ourselves) judge us to be when we fall, then our journey ends, and that failure becomes our destination. To truly love the journey (and thereby to truly Love life), on the other hand, is to accept no such end. I myself have found, often through painful experience, that the most important step a person can take is the next one – as long as it is made for the right reasons – as long as it is is made in the direction of one’s higher Self – as long as it is made for Love.” ~ inspired by Brandon Sanderson
