I've never liked the idea of a journey as a metaphor for the human condition. In fact, I've never liked any kind of metaphor for it. Being a human being is difficult to reduce to a metaphor because it is a metanym (the thing itself).
Having said that, I recognize that I will only get out of life what I put into it. I try to view it as a cost/benefit kind of thing. For example, "Smoking dope feels good, but going to prison on federal drug charges and being ass-raped would probably not feel good. So I'll avoid the stuff for now."
