Just Climb the Mountain

That phrase was a piece of wisdom that was shared with me several years back. It still resonates with me today as I continually have mountains to climb; whether in the work place or on the home front; they’re waiting for me, and some are large and some not so large.

We must learn how to develop an inner peace and as its being developed; it becomes a strength – strength to just climb the mountain. You ask how is it developed? Well, its most likely different for everyone, yet the same. It is a process that never ends and takes us in many directions. You develop it by telling yourself no more to the destructive things that try and sideline you. Its telling yourself no more to the negativity of others around you. Its telling yourself no more to old patterns and habits that lead to not accomplishing what you set out to accomplish.

It starts with telling yourself yes. Yes to honesty. Yes to caring. Yes to sharing. Yes to giving, and Yes to living. Is it easy? Of course not. Have I over-simplified it? Certainly.

And every man’s definition of inner peace will differ; the one thing that won’t is that we all have mountains to climb, and some are large and some not so large.
