Life's not about the day when you win the prizes - it's about all the days in between. p 255
In her book "Ultimate Prizes," Susan Howatch emphasizes that life's true value lies not in the moments of triumph, but in the everyday experiences that shape us. Winning awards or achieving goals may provide brief satisfaction, but it's the journey and the lessons learned along the way that truly matter. These daily moments contribute to our personal growth and understanding, making them just as significant as the final accomplishments.
Howatch's perspective reminds us to appreciate the mundane aspects of life, as they often hold the lessons and memories we cherish most. It's through these in-between days that we cultivate resilience and character, which ultimately prepare us for the times when we do achieve our dreams. Focusing on this journey allows us to find fulfillment and gratitude in our everyday lives, not just in major victories.
