Quoting Gwyn Thomas, novelist, he writes: \u201cBut the beauty is in the walking \u2014 we are betrayed by destinations.\u201d So it is with our magnificent walk through life\u2026\u00a0<i>the joy is in the journey<\/i>. Yet, there is the reality of the demands of our days which tug on our attention to achieve our goals and life\u2019s purpose. So we must find balance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Fill your life with magical moments of wonder, great dreams and achievements.\u00a0 Be that magnificent value-added change to the world and all those whom you touch. Along the way, capture the beauty of each precious moment.\u00a0 See the world through the eyes of a child. As Rockwell reminds us: \u201cGrownups say, \u201ccome on.\u201d But, children know how to walk. They forget where they\u2019re going. Children say, \u2018Look! A dead worm! Isn\u2019t this rock pretty? Why is the sidewalk cracked?\u2019\u201d\u00a0 Enjoy those small, everyday treasures that make life even more wondrous and beautiful. John Muir, naturalist and author, wrote: \u201cI only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.\u201d\u00a0This is one of life\u2019s greatest joys.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have a beautiful day, a magnificent week and a peaceful and Happy Thanksgiving!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To:\u00a0 The Great leaders Who Have a Passion for Continuous Learning &nbsp; In his recent blog post,\u00a0How to Walk, Dan Rockwell reminds us of the joys of walking: to rekindle&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[346,72,4,643],"class_list":["post-1731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-dreams","tag-joy","tag-leadership","tag-peace"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1731"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1731\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1738,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1731\/revisions\/1738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
