So true!
What I have found is that by having a destination provides a structured parameter that can be measured. For example, walking from your home to the end of your block and back. If you have not had any exercise, walking this far may even be a challenge.
Walking the mall, for example, is an endless journey with no end in sight...lol. The walk seems endless.
When you walk with a purpose, or a short distance, you can build confidence that you will succeed, and that ensures more walking to further destinations.
