Introduction: Joy is easy to find in the destination, but it is hard to find in the process. In our daily life, we do things for all different purposes. Some of them are obviously for finding joy and happiness. However, people think joy can only be found when we accomplished something that takes time, process, and efforts to do. Most of those people would never think of that they could actually enjoy the process instead of only enjoy the moment that they reach what they want. For example, we watched the peaceful warrior in the class, the gas station man said, journey brings you happiness, not the destination. This quote suddenly gave me a lot of inspiration for solving the puzzle of why do we work so hard for something, why should we have a goal for our my life, why should we try things that we never did before, why should we push our limit to innovate our daily life, why should we go to work or school everyday, and why we should do this and that, etc. I believe the quote cracked the ultimated problem that the existence of human being in this universe. By comparing the journey and the destination, journey takes most of the time than destination. Destination has the most tempting reward than journey. Why should we find joy at journey instead of only finding joy in destination? The reason is journey takes most of our life time before we get to all their destinations. Therefore, why should we suffer and get bored in the journey for most of our life time? Now we should change the way how we think about this. We should learn how to find joy from every journeys we have no matter how difficult, frustrated, boring, and exhausting they are. Time is valuable, so we should enjoy every moment we have.
About the Element What if I told you that the biggest threat to find joy in the process is not your lack of passion,
