Are we there yet? This journey is taking too long.

Yes, the journey is long. Yes, there are many more steps. But, if you don’t keep going, if you give up too soon, you will have nothing to show for your efforts.

Yes, the start and the finish are the most interesting parts. But the middle, the in-between, matters just as much. The in-between connects beginning to end. Without the middle you have a start but no end.

No, we’re not there yet, but the journey matters.
