This past winter, the 2018 Winter Olympics took place in South Korea with much excitement and fanfare. While there were plenty of inspiring stories centered around the athletes, but there was one story that about a couple of non-athletes that stood out.
It was about a Swiss Couple who rode 10,000 miles on their bicycle to see their son complete in ski-Jumping. Of course, they had to leave before they even knew if he would be on the team, but in this case, it was truly about the journey. Of course, their son did make the team which probably made the journey all the sweeter.
The lesson I got from this story is this: You never know what will be at the end of a journey, but it is your responsibility to get yourself there. Read more about the ride here:
