The Isle of Wight Coastal Path is a circular long-distance walk of around 136 km (68 miles) around the Isle of Wight, UK.
I did it! 136 km, 29h 29min on my two little legs – the coastal path walk completed!
They say ‘it’s the journey not the destination’ and I do agree with this statement, the journey is not about the goal itself but about all the experiences that lie-in between the start and the finish line. The whole process of travelling, discovering, experiencing… all the feelings; joy, euphoria, frustration, calmness, fatigue, anger … Being with yourself, self-reflection, accepting yourself for who you are, understanding yourself, forgiving yourself for all the mistakes and wrong decisions made, but also patting yourself on the shoulder for all your past goals and successes! The true goal, the true victory is the inner growth that is taking place, and be sure life is full of a series of small destinations, small goals… It’s not always easy, but let’s enjoy life to the fullest! No regrets! Let’s accept it all, the past, the present and whatever the Universe will bring in the future!
