I’ve always been a fan of walking.

There’s something about the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other that I find incredibly satisfying.

Maybe it’s because walking is such a basic, primal activity. Or maybe it’s the fact that it’s a great way to clear your head and get some exercise at the same time.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” — Lao Tzu

Whatever the reason, I’ve always found that walking is a great way to reflect on my life and goals.

During my walks, I often come up with my best ideas.

And it’s during my walks that I feel most connected to the world around me.
