When you remember that life is a process, it helps us put our goal-setting in perspective.
The purpose of setting goals is to give us a temporary structure in which to operate.
Unfortunately when we begin to believe that the structure is solid and real, we loose touch with the process of getting there.
This is why we often feel so depressed and let down when we reach our goals.
We have not let ourselves enjoy the experience of the journey, and when we reach the end, we have missed the journey.
Being in the present allows us to experience the journey and to respond to the process of the journey.
When we operate this way, we see that all goals are just temporary ideas that change as we draw near to them!
