The journey is the memory we talk of. It’s the in-between moments of everything that comes together when it comes together, and how it comes together. It’s the small stories that we reflect on and remember without hesitation. It’s the best of us and when we get to the destination, all we talk about are the bumps and adventures that happened in the journey. Don’t miss out on the journey, it’s not worth forgetting.
The coin. The clicks. The referrals. The follow-up work. The learning. The exposure. The freedom.
