A while ago I had the opportunity to read the Paolo Chelho’s book “The Alchemist”. If you hadn’t yet, I will not tell you the story, but what you might get in reading it:

the awareness that the aim of a goal is not reaching it, but who we become in pursuing it.

Once I read in a book a Lincoln (but I am not 100% sure he was him) quote that still comes up in my mind when I’m up to making tough decision.

There are 3 kind of choices: the first best one, that is the right one; the second best one, that is the the wrong one; the worst one, that is the non-choice.

I feel everybody has goals. 

From waiting for the day (work) to end, to doing what we love, we are always talking about something that still has to come, and to which we are aiming at. Ok, at least this is meaning I personally give to the word “GOAL”.

Let’s make a step further and let’s consider some additional feature: the attitude we have in our way toward the goal seeing it as something:

we have to or must reach;

we love to reach;

we (mainly) feel good while we are going toward it.

The three points above fit the trip metaphor where the goal is the destination and the attitude is the trip issue.
