It's the Journey Not the Destination (NOT!) | Casting Off with Followtheboat 018

"Life is about the journey, not the destination" is what we are often told. But is it? Isn't the destination just as important? 🤙 Support us: PATREON | FTBMates | Rum Fund - https://followtheboat.com/pub/ 👌 In today's podcast, we chat about the idea that everyone should be thinking about "the now" and must stop focusing on goals. Maybe we should stop being so dogmatic, so binary about our choices. Isn't life a little more layered than that? Can't both the journey and the destination be fulfilling? And what about travelers and cruisers? Do we have a different, more practical approach to journeys and destinations?
