Half the Fun is Getting There!

If I were to relate the above quote (this week’s Destination Disney topic) to Disney, I’d say something that you’ve probably heard me say many times before here on my blog – half the fun is in the planning!  For me, I spend a lot of time planning each of our Disney trips.  I watch the Disney planning DVD’s (even though I’ve seen them all before) and Disney documentaries, and I read books and websites.  Eventually, we make it to Disney and our trip is great – but the journey to get there is rewarding too. 

And the same rings true for life . . .

Obviously, considering this quote comes from the Hannah Montana Movie, it brings this song to mind:

The words of this song are so true -

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin’,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you’re gonna have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what’s waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you’re gonna have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what’s waiting on the other side
It's the climb

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you’re gonna have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what’s waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

While I can’t claim to be a huge Miley Cyrus fan, I do like this song.  Because the words of it are so true. 

I have seen this scenario played out many times in my life, in just the past year alone.  We’re always going to face adversity and we’re always going to want to find a way around it.  There are always going to be struggles, and we need to get through them.  Sometimes the outcome won’t be the one we hope for, and that’s ok.  Each and every moment plays a part in our eventual outcome – and, chances are, we’ll look back one day and the little things along the way will be ones that have created the best memories!
