It's not the having, it's the getting.

Summary

This quote suggests that the process of acquiring something is often more important or enjoyable than actually possessing it. The satisfaction doesn't come from solely having something, but from the effort and journey undertaken to attain it. It emphasizes the value of hard work, determination, and the fulfillment that comes from one's accomplishments. It reminds us to appreciate and find joy in the pursuit of our goals, rather than focusing solely on the end result.
