Life itself is a pilgrimage.

Every day is different, every day can have a magic moment, but we don’t see the opportunity because we think: ‘Oh this is boring, I’m just commuting to work.’ But we are all on a pilgrimage whether we like it or not, and the goal – the real Santiago, if you like – is death. You must get as much as you can from the journey, because in the end the journey is all you have. It doesn’t matter what you accumulate in terms of material wealth, because you are going to die anyway, so why not live? Realising that you can be brave and take risks is the first steps of any spiritual quest.
