Introduction

A journey does not always involve traveling. Sometimes a journey refers to the steps in a process or a new way of thinking or of reaching a personal goal. For instance, when Olympic athletes describe their journey, they don't mean just the airplane they took to get to the games. Usually, they are referring to the experience of becoming Olympic athletes (learning a sport, training, personal sacrifice). The destination is the end of a journey. For Olympians, the destination would be competing in the Olympic Games. Think about the journeys you’ve been on in your life.
