"Travel is awesome in that it shows you that *waiting* is the reward. Magic is in the transformation that accommodates each step. Every upset or obstacle unfolds a richer, more interesting story, where you've had to go deeper into yourself to sculpt the diamond resources in you.

When I return from a trip, I often find myself saying, "I need a vacation from my vacation". I hear other travelers saying it also. It's because when we travel, we know that time is precious, limited and so we try to live those moments to their fullest potential. We live intentionally.

Why then in our normal everyday lives, do we waste so many moments? Why are we rushing, continually looking for short cuts to hurdle all the steps in-between? Rather than experiencing the joy in the journey, we treat them like uncomfortable "accidents" that got in the way of our plans. Why do we live intentionally when we travel, but accidentally when we're home?"
