Joy in the Journey

I think the key to viewing life as an exciting and rewarding journey, instead of focusing on the frustrating lack of destinations you seem never able to reach, is service.  When we focus on others and their needs- when our purpose is to show others how deeply our Heavenly Father loves them, life takes on a meaning and purpose that makes time pass almost too quickly.  Wallowing in our sorrow, despair, or even accomplishments is short sighted and really only draws the focus and pressure closer to home.  Recognizing our part in a greater plan, however, which is often to lift and help others, creates within us a sense of unity and belonging- both of which are essential elements of lasting joy.
