Joy in the journey
If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. For often, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to      . “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “We plan to dig a hole all the way through the     !” one of the brothers volunteered      .
The older boys began to     , telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was      . After a long silence, one of the        picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and many other kinds of insects. He      the lid and showed the wonderful      to the scoffing(嘲笑的)visitors. Then he said quietly and     , “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look at what we have found      the way!”
Their goal was far too ambitious, but it did cause them to dig. And that is      a goal is for — to cause us to move in the      we have chosen, in other words, to keep us     ! But not every goal will be fully     . Not every job will end     . Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every dream will be     . But when you fall      of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things      my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging      life is lived. And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly      .
