Honoring God by enjoying life

Pursuing a worthy goal isn’t worth as much if you don’t enjoy the process along the way; a good lesson for me. In fact, I think part of the goal is enjoying the process. I don’t read a book just so I can say that I made it to the end; I do the reading so that I can take it all in and absorb it—enjoy it, and make it an experience.

Our hard-charging society has a reputation for emphasizing accomplishment, setting goals, and obtaining all the things that we think will make us happy; but what if we don’t enjoy the journey while attaining those goals, or even once we’ve attained them. That’s a sad thought to consider. What if the road to happiness isn’t paved with any happiness at all? And what if—perish the thought—we don’t ever reach some of those goals we set out to achieve? What if it’s just a long road of speed bumps in a car with no suspension? Ouch! It seems, we are then left with a never-ending drudgery that might have spurts of enjoyment, but is never fully enjoyed. And I would say that we then run into the ‘Someday Scenario’. What’s the ‘Someday Scenario’, you ask? Well, it’s the thinking that if I can just achieve this goal, or obtain this thing, then ‘Someday’ I’ll be happy. Did you like that? I just made that up. Anyway, we tend to not think about the process because we are so focused on the goal that the road to getting there is overlooked. We just look at our destination and don’t bother to consult Google Maps. Or better yet, a tour pamphlet along the way.

Some of these tendencies can be made fun of and caricatured within the context of the differences between the two sexes: women tend to stop and smell the roses, while men tend to trample over the roses just to get to their destination. I suppose we men are unapologetically goal-oriented. But that’s where we can maybe learn some important lessons from women. If you are a man, so inclined, your wife might be the best person to help you learn to enjoy the process. A tour guide of sorts—maybe. Don’t forget to tip your tour guide. They’ll remember if you don’t.

I think of it this way: if God created all of this wonder and enjoyment called ‘Life’, then He created it, partly, for us to enjoy. It’s not meant to be a toilsome process of relentless day-to-day tasks to accomplish. If you think of all this as being like a party, you might get an idea, and a better context, of what it’s meant to be. If you invite a group of people to a party, you want them to enjoy themselves, right? I mean, how would you feel if everyone showed up complaining, bored, and not enjoying anything that was going on? That would be a huge downer for the host. That’s kind of how I think God might feel. But we can change our perspective. We can decide to enjoy this whole process. If you do, then I say, welcome to the party; welcome to life!
