Challenge Yourself
Career Life Transitions
Engaged, motivated people create endless possibilities....
At 60, I decided to take on a personal challenge, 160 km over 8 days climbing and descending the equivalent of Mt Fuji.
Yes, I took on a section of the Bibbulmun Track.
A beautiful part of the country and the perfect way to self-discovery. I admit up front, I took the challenge on quite lightly, but let me assure you, wondering around the local park with a pack is nothing like the undulations of the track across mud, pea gravel and leaf litter with 22 kg on your back. It did take me 3 or 4 days to get trek fit, then it become one foot in front of the other for the 20 km journey between each camp. I was really enjoying the challenge.
What was reaffirmed for me?

Next time, I will take a companion, probably my?youngest son and that will be a great bonding experience I’m looking forward to it (the bond of common suffering as my old?army buddy used to call it).
We have had Covid, lockdowns, restricted travel etc. etc. but what are you doing to challenge and stretch yourself?
If not now, then when?
