Commentators at the Olympics talking about how "effortless" so many of the winning athletes were is the tip of a huge societal problem.

Not only is the amount of work it takes to do anything invisible, its apparent invisibly is celebrated.

A friend of mine is a successful photographer. Something he says has stuck with me: "Don't be envious of the destination if you don't envy the journey."

The journey is the real story. Each journey matters more than a shiny award.
