Two boys decided to dig a deep hole behind their house．As they were working，a man asked what they were doing．“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth，”one of the boys said happily．

The man began to laugh and told them not to do that because he thought that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible．After a while，one of the boys picked up a jar full of spiders，worms，and all kinds of insects．He removed the cover and showed the wonderful things to the man．Then he said confidently，“Even if we can’t dig all the way through the earth，look at what we found along the way!”

Their goal was far too big，but it did cause them to dig and cause them to move in the direction they had chosen．

But not every goal will be fully finished．Not every job will end successfully．Not every hope will come to pass．Not every love will last．But when you have a goal，perhaps you can say，“Yes，but look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!”It is the level of joy you find in the journey，which is the most important．
