Journey/tool
For me knowing and understanding are 2 different things.
Your statement "I understand it will be hard work, I understand it is for the rest of my life"
Makes me laugh . You think you understand..In reality - you have no clue what's coming.
We think we know, we are prepared... But reality often is different than our expectations.

My feelings on this....This is your game and you're the game master. This game is usually predominantly a mind game. Psychologically speaking we all have allowed our minds ( for one reason or the other) to dictate our stomachs. That's how we got here. Its a huge piece. We have to master our minds on this. I feel like if the terms journey and tool are not favorites of yours and do not behoove you to master your mind then you should feel free to use whatever terms that help you be successful, and win your game.
That being said I'm almost 9 months out ( still very new and learning by the minute) and I have used the words journey and tool every single day. For me they're my major pieces. I couldn't be successful without them...hell I wouldn't even be on the game board AT ALL without them. I love my journey and am so thankful for the tool that is guiding me.
Best of luck to you!

Maybe it's a guy thing, but I have always disliked the terms journey and tool. I never use them. But they seem to help a lot of people, so I just leave it alone.
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and on
