Long Way Round - final thoughts

Just thought I'd quickly jot down a quote that Ewan McGregor said at the tail end of LRW.

"I hope it will inspire people that it's possible. A lot of things in life, people don't do because of the 'what-if's'. What if this happens? What if that happens? What if you run out of petrol?... And it stops us doing things. and in actual fact the what if's and the might-be's are what makes it so exciting. Every time we got in to trouble, or your bike broke down, we met people that helped. It's a really optimistic view of the world that I have now... All the people that we have met all 'round the world have incredibly generous, nice people."

Most days, it definitely feels too hard, and totally not achievable. But one out of ten days i will wake up with such vigor and conviction that this is possible. I need to learn how to keep that spirit more often.
