The road is better than the inn

Miguel de Cervantes (author of Don Quixote) once said this:

“The road is always better than the inn.”

The journey we’re on is always more interesting and more satisfying than the destination to which we’re heading.

What happens when we get to the end of the road anyway? Inevitably, we think, “What now?”

Soon after, we decide on another goal to achieve. Another trip to take. Another journey.

We’re like a dog chasing a car—we wouldn’t know what to do with it if we finally caught one. 

Enjoy the journey, however bumpy it is. The destination is never all it’s cracked up to be.
