A quote that jumps out to me is one that I've been a fan of since high school. I believe it was attributed to Einstein, and its, great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. When you want to pursue spending time in the outdoors and doing multi-site Section Hikes, or maybe going and hiking the Appalachian trail, or starting a travel business during a pandemic, a lot of people will tell you you're crazy, or that's not a great idea, or maybe you should have a backup plan or things along those lines., but I think a lot of times that people who have that drive and want to achieve. Sometimes you got to make the leap and don't be afraid of it.
