Ah, but wherever you go, there you are!
In all seriousness, that's good advice, one of the things we've traded our ability to work on the land for is the ability to travel from one land to another extremely quickly and cheaply, so to deny yourself that option, cause you absolutely have to "make it work" where you're at, it's to stagnate yourself. That being said, we often times neglect what's in our arm's reach, just because a thousand steps can be taken so quickly. Keep that in mind.
