Beware of Destination Addiction

(Art: Photography by Ralph Gibson)

Setting your goals that never seem to arrive

Perhaps there's something more realistic to strive?

Preoccupied with the many things you can never be.

Obsessed with the things you can never do.

Addicted with the places you will never visit.

Happiness is never in the next place.

Happiness is never in the next job

Happiness is never in the next partner

Your preoccupation with the idea that happiness

has a destination.

It'll just make you crazy.

You disappointments will make you lazy.

Beware of Destination Addiction.

The greener grass will always be where you are.

You can cast your sights on the stars.

Never forget the real lights are all around you.
