an ever-improving path

"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb." ~ Sir Winston Churchill

That quote just reminds me that life really is about the journey. Though sometimes the steps might not feel fruitful, they are ... in some way. Progress is progress, whatever it's size.

Yeah, this is true. And sometimes, life may even take you into a damp valley with leafless trees and fog gnawing at your imagination. When we can stop and take note of the brilliant green grass at our feet and the limitless expanse of stars just beyond those clouds, we can sometimes venture to laugh at it all.
