Do they ever want to turn around and head back to the ocean? I never seen a salmon flowing with the current back to sea. They are on a mission and nothing is going to stop them.
This picture doesn't do justice to the difficult task these salmon face in propagating. There are more cascading waterfalls for them to navigate than what I could capture with my camera and still identify the salmon.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..." Matthew 28:19 English Standard Version
And we think the salmon have it hard.
By the grace of God we continue to disciple our families, friends and associates, but there are times we feel the temptation to head back to sea.
This journey of making disciples is worth the effort. It's God who gives us the strength to navigate the difficulties of human relationship and continue on this road of making disciples. It's the Holy Spirit to whom we give credit for any progress we make.
Making disciples isn't merely a task to be checked off our list, it's our mission.
