This is one of my favorite photos I have ever taken. It was around 5:45am on top of Haleakala Volcano on Maui. I remember many things about that morning, how we woke up at 3:00 am to make the drive to get there before sunrise, the fact that although in Maui, at 10,000 feet up it was freezing cold, but the biggest thing I remember was how peaceful it was as the sun rose above the clouds that morning. In Hawaii, it is known as the "House of God." Hawaiian legend says that it makes a promise to move slowly across the sky so to be enjoyed by all.
It is a spectacular sight, and if you haven't seen it yet, I hope you will get the chance soon. So many times, we can get caught up in the rush of finding success that we forget to enjoy the journey. Many of us find success, and there are many ways people find their success, but all in all, the journey is to be enjoyed. As you find your journey to your success remember to take a step back and enjoy the journey as well.
Find what you are passionate about, and enjoy the ride...if you feel high or low at this time in your career, keep in mind the journey is what matters. Things change quickly and usually when you feel like you aren't making the progress you like, you are much closer to the finish line than you thought. If you keep things simple, work hard, have integrity, always look to do the right thing, and be positive you will find your success.
