Does Destination matter?

I've been reading Conversations with God recently. Now, before you switch off at the G word, it makes a lot of sense - this God seems to be a more accessible, friendly, down-to-earth kind of deity. The way I always imagined 'god' should be actually. Anyway, something I have been struggling to get my head round is that it doesn't matter what we do or where we go. I have always believed that I am far more important than that!

What matters, apparently, is the level of connection you have with your true joyful self. All life is designed to reconnect you with who you really are. So from that perspective, it doesn't really matter WHERE you go, but that your journey (or not) is reconnecting you to who you are. It reminds me of the saying that you should have a goal to be a millionaire, not to be a millionaire, but because of what you will learn on the way.

It also reminds me to stop and smell the roses. AND to remain unattached to the outcome. Yes, I have a destination in mind...but if the journey continues in the way it is currently, it won't be the arrival that changes me, but the miles I travel in between. Hmmm...maybe Big G knows what she's on about?!

Are you making the destination more important than the journey? Are you making the journey more important than yourself? Are you making yourself more important than anything?
