Climbing a Mountain

I often come across interesting stores, stores that capture my imagination and at the same time remind me of my own struggles, challenges and victories.

This is one of those tales, it’s a story shared by Elliot Hulse:

“It’s not about living up to the heights set artificially by society or the expectations of others.  It’s knowing your ideal self and not letting that person down.  That person is waiting for you on your personal peak, and it is up to you to get there.

But you have to be willing to make the journey.  It’s a difficult journey, but one worth taking.  Awareness and appreciation of the journey to the ideal makes life so beautiful and all the negatives so trivial.  At least that’s how I think and feel when I am fully conscious of the greatness that is within us, waiting to burst forth.

It’s still not too late.  Keep pushing.  Keep fighting.  Keep living life as it should be lived.

Don’t fear.  Don’t despair  Don’t let anything hold you back.  Especially not the worst of you, waiting at the base of the mountain you are climbing.  Calling you back to dull and suffocating comfort and mediocrity.

Strive.  Respect yourself and all that of which you are capable.

It will all be worth it.  It already is.”

Having another person see the world in the same way that you do is a scarce commodity. Elliot words truly resonate with my own.
