There is much more to life than constantly reaching for your perfect paradise; that place where “happiness” resides and your worries drift out to sea and die. Far too often we remain so focused on the outcome that we forget to enjoy the ride. The middle part. The in-between. The MEAT of Life. It’s the long road trips fueled by jerky and peanuts before reaching your destination. It’s the peaceful walks around the block before you begin the workday. And it's the contents of your juicy sandwich that make life oh so delicious. So savor the meat. Smell the cheese. Squish the tomatoes and toss the lettuce if you so choose. But whatever you do, don’t get so hung up on the bread of life that you forget to enjoy everything between the slices.
