And so when it comes to travel and everything in my life that I want, I must ask myself: How much of this desire is based on the pursuit of fleeting feelings and how much is for the betterment of myself, and the world? How much goes beyond pure thrill? Because true happiness doesn’t come from thrill. It comes from helping the world progress. And that progress starts with me. I could decide to eat healthier or learn a new language. In some way, because I’ve improved myself, the world is a little better, a little more understanding.
