Why You Should Travel and See the World

By

How you spend your days is how you spend

I love this quote! It has been replaying in my mind all day and makes me think about what I should change about my days. Do I live my days as I want to spend my life or am I always thinking along the lines of “I just need to do X for Y amount of time to be able to eventually do Z.” Food for thought.
