motivation

When I’m in my old age, am I really going to remember a particular dress I wore or book I bought in my 20s? Or am I going to remember the time my friends and I got stranded at a winery in France and had to walk 10km back to our hostel?

So many of the travel stories I hear gloss over these early stages. It would be very easy for me to get disheartened with my seeming lack of progress. So what is my inspiration to keep going?
