To those who think you need a destination to begin a journey and/or that the destination is more important because otherwise there would be no point making the journey, I respectfully disagree.
There are many things people do on a whim. Spontaneous road trip? Trying a new dish/cuisine? Frivolous sex? There are short-term "destinations" in all these activities and more, but they need not necessarily be part of a bigger, more important framework of goals or destinations one wishes to achieve.
Yes, of course, ambition and an end-goals are admirable things. But there are other aspects to this whole journey-destination discourse, one of them being sometimes the destination could really suck (without you necessarily knowing it ahead of time, either).
Point in case, a few months ago I wrote a novel. It didn't start off as a novel, I was just putting some thoughts down and before I knew it I had 20,000 words. It sucked. But I did it, not necessarily to go anywhere with it. It now sits on my hard drive and I haven't taken a look at it since, but it was fun to have worked on it.
Pragmatism is cool and all, but it takes the fun out of things sometimes.

Somewhat relevant:
I thought about it more and I've gotta agree with Ulic and mr_chin about knowing the destination. But aside from that, I think once you know your destination, it's how you get there that's more important.

Conclusion
Small shit that doesn't matter in life, journey is more important. For example, baking cookies, invent new bubble tea, fixing a totaled vehicle.
Big shit that that decides your life, destination is more important. For example, career positions, breaking world records, winning a championship fight.
So can we justify that the people who thinks journey is more important don't value ambitions and goals as much as those who thinks destination is more important?

For me, I'd say always the journey. You have to realize that your destination may change depending on what happens on that journey and what you take away from it all. Who you were in the past, who you are now and who you will be in the future may be surprisingly different people altogether. As you change, your wants and needs will change also. The beauty of life is not knowing what's going to happen but you have to be open to genuinely accept what comes. Don't get caught up in shit that makes you forget who you are and invest in yourself as much as possible. At the same time, remember that everyone goes through their journeys differently and if someone elses' journey affects you negatively, you have to feel compassion; send them love and well wishes and detach yourself from the situation.
Go with the flow but always strive to be the best version of yourself possible.

To get anywhere in life, without the journey, you will never reach your destination, be it in career pr relationship. Dont worry about getting to your destination, just enjoy the journey. You will know when you've reached your destination.
