"Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans."
-John Lennon
This quote describes me perfectly. I have always had all kinds of big goals and dreams for myself, but those are not what have made me the happiest in life. While I was traveling down different roads for those destinations, the little speed bumps I hit and wrong turns I made are what I think of and make me smile.
John Lennon, the author of this quote, was a member of The Beatles. Not only was he a rock musician, singer, and songwriter, he was also an artist, a peace activist, and a father. He had two sons from two different marriages, Julian and Sean. After a great stretch with The Beatles he retired to spend more time with his family. After five years of quiet, he made a comeback into music, but was sadly murdered a month later on December 8, 1980. This quote makes me think that he missed out on a lot of “family time” due to his extremely busy and successful career.
Like John Lennon, the things that make me truly happy are not the big achievements I gained, but all of the memories I have made. The best example is my daughter, and my son who will be born this summer.
