#198 Life's Journey Is Continuous

“Life Journey" has been a keyword for me for the past few months. 

This journey will continue for a long time, so I feel that I should enjoy it as much as possible while moving forward. 

In my mind, life journeys are not always fun. Sometimes it can feel like a challenge. The word "challenge" has many connotations, including sadness and absurdity. I’ve had my own challenges in childhood, adolescence, and even now. Because of these challenges, there are things that come to light when I have cleared them. 

In my case, the challenge in my childhood was "love of family," in adolescence it was "my identity," and recently I think I am facing my identity again in a different sense from adolescence.

How do I want to walk in the future and what do I want to leave behind? 

When my thoughts are too grandiose, I ask myself one word: "What can I do at this moment?” 

I face each day with the words, "Remember to face what you can do one by one," and "Enjoy the journey of life.” When I ask these questions, I actually feel grateful and feel that I love life. 

This is something I have been feeling in my work on the corporate side as well as in my coaching work. I am also considering what I can contribute to the world and what form would be best for me.

How about you? Are you enjoying your own life journey? 

What does "life journey" mean to you? 

I want to continue to enjoy my life journey for a long time to come! 

The picture is from the last time I spent time with my sister and her family in Hawaii and they dropped me off at the airport. 

I hope to be able to continue this kind of journey (travel) again, and I hope to face each day with enjoyment.  

It continues to be extremely hot in the Kanto region of Japan. Please take care of yourself!

I wish you a week with many smiles, including those in other parts of Japan and other countries!
