very insightful piece! thank you for sharing your experiences! "the joy was in fact the chase itself." what true words. It's a very liberating realization. It gives away the pressure of having to obtain a goal. the paradox in my opinion is that you need to have a goal in order to be able to chase it, but at the same time realize that it's not really about the goal itself but rather the process of getting there...you need the goal (or at least some poeple do) to get into the process of acting and seeing the vision but the process of it is much mure important. what's the point of obtaining something if you don't enjoy the process of getting there?
languages really do open up new worlds, also within yourself. there is interesting research in psychology that suggests that our personalities are quite dependent from the language we are currently speaking.

Exactly! I like to view goals more as a guiding light as opposed to a destination. I like to say "I need to know my diirection not my destination".
Goals are fantastic for that structure but we should always be open to other possibilities that open up along the journey.
Thank you for your comment!
