“The journey is the destination,” says my piano teacher.

We have forgotten how to value the path to a goal that we are working towards as valuable time.

It is only important that on the day, at the time, a best performance can be called.

Now we are nervous and excited, full of worry about not making it.

But where is the trust? We no longer notice the many small learning steps, changes and improvements on the way to the goal.

When we celebrate them, we give our brain an extra boost of motivation.

Only if the task works, the investment has paid off. Otherwise everything was in vain?
