In The Middle Of All This

Episode 15 - Why The Journey Is Better Than The Destination


Listen Later

Are you constantly chasing the next goal—the promotion, the debt-free date, the "all figured out" life—only to feel restless when you get there? Host Eryn Foster admits he's been a life-long "destination driver," missing the view from the window as he races toward finish lines that turn out to be myths.

In this powerful episode, Eryn challenges the idea that happiness is a deferred reward. He explores how the relentless pursuit of an ultimate destination robs us of the only time we ever truly have: the present. Drawing on insights from Ferris Bueller, John Lennon, and C.S. Lewis, he makes the case that the "messy, wonderful life" unfolds on the road, not in the arrival.

Discover how to:

  • Shift from a rigid "map" to a guiding "compass."

  • Embrace the Theology of the Detour—and find peace in the chaos.

  • Implement three practical steps to be present (including the "Single-Tasking Audit").

Stop fighting against the journey and realize that the person you become on the road is the whole point.
