Giving up on something you truly believe in, or really want to do
is NEVER an option.

Sure it is, unless your goals are not very ambitious or interesting. If
they are, you will want to do much more than is physically possible in a
finite lifetime, and will often need to abandon some things you really want
in order to pursue other things you really want.

If you truly desire to become a certificated pilot, you will do so
no matter what obstacles are put in your path (including driving
65 miles).

I think you're confusing true desire with infinite desire. It would be
foolish to cling to something you truly desire if the obstacles cost much
more than your goal is worth. Sometimes it makes sense to persevere through
adversity; sometimes it doesn't. We need to make intelligent tradeoffs.
