We always need to have a goal or mission in life.  The problem is that sometimes I get so focused on plowing my way to the finish line I don’t look at the place that I am currently in or the people that I am currently affecting.  The end isn’t the only reason for living.  The journey is just as much part of the mission as the end is.

Do you sometimes sacrifice the present for the future goal?  Is it always necessary? Is it ever necessary?
