Austin WrightLike traveling without knowing what country you’re going to
About This Quote
The best way to get somewhere is to get off your butt and do something about it. Sometimes we get so distracted by life that we forget one of the most important things: getting there. It's like traveling without knowing what country you're going to. You can't just sit and let your destination work itself out. The journey is just as important as the destination, and you can't get there without taking action.
