Hello Again Thoughtful Travelers!  Welcome to today’s thought for March 7, 2016. 

It’s by Confucius, the Chinese philosopher and teacher who lived from 551-479 BC.

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

So what are your thoughts on today’s quote? Here’s mine:

“Traveling can be difficult, that’s why more of us aren’t clogging up the roads on a daily basis.  First of all, we need the motivation.  For most of us that’s not a problem.  Next, we need to align sufficient time, money, and energy (or health) to do it.  And then, we have to make it a priority, instead of just a dream.  With so many competing priorities, it’s easy to keep putting things off.  But life is incremental, so if we make a plan and continue to work towards it by saving money, accumulating available time, and staying fit, we can finally take that first magical step that begins our journey.”

Now…here’s the list of all the sources quoted in March.  I hope you’ll stop by each day to enjoy all the interesting and insightful things they have to say.  And leave a comment.  I’d like to hear your thoughts too.  Thanks, and see you tomorrow!
