There will never be a place we reach where as writers or people we'll be perfect. But we can always strive to be better; better people, better writers, better followers of Jesus. You're a hundred percent right: Heaven is the final destination and should always be in our thoughts. :)<br />I'm not sure if anything I said made sense, but thanks for sharing this post! <3Melissa Gravitishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889893267095836970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-578061798190417546.post-16530080721396524502017-05-13T16:28:12.340-07:002017-05-13T16:28:12.340-07:00*breathes in* OH AUDREY THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL AND MAG...*breathes in* OH AUDREY THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL AND MAGNIFICENT AND GAHGHAGHAHGHAGHAGHGA.<br /><br />I know my definite goal as a writer is to publish my book, but I know that it won't solve all my problems. I think that publishing is that big, bright yellow sign calling out, "YOU MADE IT! YOU DID IT!" It's like a really big step that we all want to reach.<br /><br />I LOVE LOVE this post, because I have an obsession with goals. I just really like to make them, and then to cross them off and feel accomplished. But, like you said, it's more of the journey that matters. Of course, goals are still important (after all, they are great motivation), but, as you said, the journey is where the joy comes from. And reaching that goal gives us joy too... but it's not the only source.<br /><br />The writing milestone I want to hit right now is... I guess actually finishing a novel. I've never finished one before and that makes me super super sad. XD<br /><br />May • <a href="https://foreverandeverly.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Forever and Everly</a>May @ Forever and Everlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06552178873242171020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-578061798190417546.post-12491615958331245192017-05-13T14:04:42.460-07:002017-05-13T14:04:42.460-07:00GOODNEEESSSSS.
