Life isnt always about the next goal...

I wrote this as a note on FaceBook close to a month ago and I want to post it here, for any of you who need any type of encouragement or if you are like me and your trying to understand what your struggling with and going through is trying to show you or teach you:

Lately, it has been placed on my heart to share this revelation that I received from God a couple of months ago but didn't share until now when this came to me again these last couple of weeks. Now what I'm about to share isn't the revelation of all revelations, it's not going to be one that when you hear it, its going to instantly change your life; no it's not that. The message is simple but very profound and it is: "life is not about the next goal, milestone, or achievement." 
Now immediately when God revealed this to me, I instantly heard the record scratch in my head and I'm like "what?!" For me, life has kind of always been about the next goal or next achievement, it stems from being in school where I was always one of the top students in my class (not bragging at all), I was always looking for whats the next thing to do or to achieve. It went on like this through high school & college, where I did extremely well and graduated, but what I noticed looking back through all of that was that I wasn't particularly happy. Now, I was happy in the moment but after I came down from that high I felt like I was still stuck in the same place. And it isn't until now having completed my ultimate goal (& my parents dream) of finishing college & my goals not unfolding as I would have liked them to, I find myself asking the same question, "why do I feel stuck in this same place?" It was then that God revealed to me that life isn't about the next goal, life is a process, or rather a journey, that should be enjoyed through the good & bad times. Now you know me, immediately when that was revealed I was like "How am I supposed to enjoy life when things are hard & I am struggling?" And God answered simply "because there is something to be gained from it." Although, I did not understand at the time what could possibly be gained from my situation, but my emotional breakdown of last week and my constant analysis of it brings me back to this revelation. It has dawned on me that I have never really taken the time to enjoy this journey called life, my life had always been comprised of mostly what's the next move? What's the next step? When it should be, what can I do now? How can I enjoy this moment? Now, because I state this does that mean one should not have goals? No absolutely not, you should have goals and want to achieve them. What am saying is don't be like me where u forget to just enjoy the process or journey of achieving that goal & life in general. The more I think about it, maybe that's what this trial period is about for me along with patience, trust, hope, etc. All I'm saying is Life is a journey, enjoy it! :)
