Do You Believe You’re on the Path You’re Meant to Be?

A journey is an extremely powerful metaphor, mainly when we use it to describe life. When you think about it, a journey tells your life story. It explains how your character develops and how your dreams unfold.

In real life, you are the protagonist, and you completely control how your story plays out. If you make poor decisions and follow the wrong path, this will lead to severe consequences down the road.

But, if your choices are driven by logical reasoning and thoughtful planning, all will fall into place. Any failure along the way will be treated as stepping stones up the ladder of success.

Always remember that the outcome of your journey is based on how you will drive your own life. You are the one who will decide whether you use all the hardships and struggles to your advantage or not. Remember that the choices you make have consequences, so make sure you’re ready for anything and everything.

With that, we hope these life is a journey quotes were able to help you confront your path and journey. Keep this collection as your guide whenever you feel lost, and find your way back!

Book Your Trip: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight:

We love using CheapOAir, Kayak, and Kiwi to search for the best flight prices. We love using these search engines because they search the web for airlines worldwide to ensure you get the best deal! In addition to flights, you can also find great hotel prices on Kayak and Kiwi.

Book Your Vacation Package:

If you want to book an entire vacation package, we suggest using Expedia. We love how easy Expedia is to use, and we always find good deals on entire vacation packages on their site.

Another great site for vacation packages is BookVIP . BookVIP offers super cheap vacation packages to incredible destinations. You are sure to save money using their site!

For full guided vacations, including hotels, some meals, transportation, and guides, then we book with Trafalgar. Trafalgar is a trusted tour company that will meet all your needs while ensuring a great experience.

Trip.com allows you to book flights, hotels, train tickets, rental cars, airport transfers, tours, and more all on one site. Owned by the parent company that also owns Skyscanner, this is a trusted resource for travel booking and a great “one-stop shop.”

Book Your Accommodations:

We always begin our search by checking out honest reviews on TripAdvisor hotels. This allows us to narrow our search for specific properties once we are ready to book. Of course, you can also book directly on the TripAdvisor site!

There are several accommodation sites that we like to use. One of our favorites is Booking.com because it offers a wide variety of hotels and guesthouses at a good price.

Another “go-to” hotel booking site for us is Hotels.com . We love their loyalty program that allows you to earn free nights, and their “secret prices” for members are fabulous deals!

HotelsCombined is another cool site. They allow you to compare all the top travel sites with one search to ensure you find the best deal out there. Kayak works in this way as well.

If you want a luxurious all-inclusive vacation, consider checking out the Sandals/Beaches properties. Sandals properties are for couples only and Beaches are for families. We have visited Sandals in the past and absolutely love the attention to detail and the service they provide.

Tour Companies We Trust:

We love taking guided tours when visiting new places. Our go-to tour companies are Viator.com and Get Your Guide . Both of these companies have been in business for years and provide excellent customer service. You can trust booking tours from their sites for sure!

For a guided city tour, check out City Sightseeing and BigBus Tours . These bus tours are so much fun and easy to hop on and hop off at top attractions in cities around the world.

CityPass is a great way to save money when visiting large cities. CityPass allows you to get free admission to major attractions once you buy their pass. The savings add up quickly with this pass, often saving 50% with combined admissions.

Another great pass to save money in larger cities is the Sightseeing Pass . This pass allows you to save valuable time and money by combining admissions to major attractions. They also have a handy app that keeps everything you need at your fingertips.

Your comprehensive list of quotes are so inspirational. One of my favorites is “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” Lao Tzu. It’s that first step that can be the most difficult but also rewarding.

Hi Michelle! Thank you so much for the kind words. I agree with you, the first step is often times very difficult, but we never know the reward if we don't take it.

Absolutely love this post! All of these journey quotes are so inspirational for wanderlusts.

Thank you so much!

The life's journey quotes especially spoke to me at this time in my life. Since I lost my son 2 years ago and with my oldest daughter currently in hospital fighting for her life, I have relied on quotes to get me through the days and help me to remain positive. That's what I love about travel, the opportunity to see all of the beauty this world has to offer. I'm going to steal some of these to make a calendar lol.

Kelly! I am so sorry to hear about your loss and pray that you daughter has a speedy recovery. I am deeply touched by your comment and agree with you completely. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you need to talk or just share favorite quotes!
