I agree highly with what you've said one thing I might add that action speaks louder than words and starting the journey is half the goal, many people and myself included try to change only to go back to their routines, it's really hard to break out of your shell and experience life differently, many are stuck in their heads and even tho they superficially try to escape, few actually walk the miles required.
