Recently, I went on a fishing trip.

We caught a few fish, but the experience wasn’t about fishing, at least not for me. It was about time together.

The next time someone asks you to do something, whether it’s a parent, child, or coworker, know that they are asking because they want to spend time with you. Accept more invitations than you reject, and focus on the person and not the event.

In retrospect, enjoyment is rarely about the experience; it is about who you share it with.
