Don't get so distracted on your destination you miss the things you pass in life getting there

A discussion I had with someone on here on one of their posts made me this about how so many of us are so focused on where we are trying to get to that we miss so many things we pass along the way getting there

And I find as I am getting older I do focus on where I am going whether its a walk around the city or life goals, but I have now slowed down a little and focus on the little things that may passes by in our life that are beautiful and perhaps all these small instances of beauty are in total more valuable to use that our end goal

So before sharing some photos I guess te point of this post is, sure set goals and strive to achieve them, but don't become so obsessed with them you miss other little joys of life all around you

Now all these shots were taking as I was walking around NYC in most cases I was heading to a certain point, whether for photos of a particular building, between offices for meetings or off to Drs appointments but these things caught my eye and I stopped to grab some shots such as

I came across this Lion in the city which has seen better days but is still on the street protecting a shop entrance :)

And this little fountain on the corner of the church in the city

Actually came across this bit of street art on a shop when I had actual lost track of where i was going and trying to work out which way I should be heading to get back to my office

Or this cool looking door

Speaking of doors there are so many cool doors in NYC I did a whole series of shots of doors a few years back, must get some of those for a future post

But thats all for this post, for those who persevered through my writing to get this far thanks so much you may now see why I generally just post photos and not do a write up :)

Stay cool and Steem on
