Letting Go of the Need to Know

~Some beautiful paths can't be discovered without getting lost." Erol Ozan

During our travels in Switzerland, my husband and I decided to go on a lengthy hike through the scenic Alp countryside. Having never been there before, I was admittedly a bit anxious about getting lost and on a few occasions, suggested we turn around. 

Those of you who know Andrew know that he usually has a go with the flow, "we'll figure it out as we go" approach so we trekked ahead not really knowing where the trail would lead us.

That trek through the Swiss countryside ended up being one of my most memorable life experiences. Surrounded by glaciers, soaring peaks, lush colors, and gentle cows serenading us with their cowbells as they freely roamed, I realized that life is much more joyful and peaceful when I let go of the need to know where I am going. 

The joy is truly in the journey, not the destination.
