A Mountain
Post Body

We often go about things in what is considered the wrong way. We, too, are often stubborn and keep trying to do things our way, the way we feel it needs to be done. We can't change the truth of things no matter how hard we believe we can. We have to say goodbye to our old ways and learn how things must be done. Perseverance is nigh useless if it comes to zero fruition. We must calculate and speculate on how things must be done. Because we can't run anymore. We have to face our problems head on or we will suffocate. Sometimes, we're just one more attempt away, but we must choose whether to embrace new methods or risk it all on the formula that has yet to work.

We often find ourselves in a repetition of losses. We lose over and over and over again, just to win once. Somehow, that one moment makes up for hours and days and months of failure, but what of the times where we simply give up? Was it all for nothing? Will we ever gain the courage to pick ourselves back up again and try once more? After all, we could just be one more attempt away, or ten, or a hundred, or even thousands. Who could know? There's only one way to find out.

We often don't know the path ahead of us. It inspires fear and adventure in our hearts, and fuels the desire for more of our minds. Sometimes the only way to find out what's ahead of us is to keep moving forward. We can't stop just because we are afraid we might not like what's on the other side. We have to keep going, as stubborn as we humans are. We can't back down until every answer is unearthed and every secret revealed, but this will ultimately consume us. No, we have to hope for more but be content with our current progress.

It's not just going to come to us. We have to fight for it with humanity's most powerful tool of all, our minds. We have to think outside the box, come up with ever-changing solutions to neverending problems. It will be long and arduous, but we will grow in the process. We will get better, faster, and stronger, but most importantly, smarter.

We often make success about pleasing others. This is why we're never satisfied when we do succeed. We face the disappointment of failure and not the satisfaction or success and it is not fair. We should not do this to ourselves. Success is a personal journey, and it should be personally rewarding. We can't compare our achievements to others because they haven't learned the exact same lessons we have in the process. Success is ours and ours only.

We must keep climbing higher and higher. We must rise above the world that tries to keep us grounded. We mustn't shout out our lungs at those lower than us, lest the ones higher than us do the same. We must ascend on our own terms. Persevere for your own sake, despite the risk and ridicule. You are worth it in your own merit. Keep climbing.

As we reach higher and higher and closer to success, we worry that one mistake will cause us to slip and fall to our doom. The beginning is no longer in sight, but neither is the end. It is natural to be overcome with fear at this stage, but freezing up will only slow you down. You must keep going. You must persevere. You will grow and be born as someone new through the experience, but you must go through growing pains. Don't let the dread get to you, get to it first. Keep climbing.

Each mistake is another chance to get stronger. Each step we take and foothold we grasp is another step closer to our own personal heaven. Many dream of a peace in finding success, many deprive themselves of it in obsession. In any case, we must keep climbing, getting closer and closer to our goal.

We are all chasing something. We all feel as if we are missing a piece or two. We want the complete picture, we want to complete ourselves. We think we find it only for it to escape our grasp once again. It taunts us and tells us to go higher. The friends, family, and foes that have come and gone are far too gone now. All that remains is you and your goal. Keep climbing.

We fear the unknown, and yet we push through it. There are many things we will never know about life in our limited time, but we will know what success feels like. Often we feel empty when we don't get the answers we seek, we feel as if a void grows bigger. The only thing that gets larger the more we take from it, is emptiness. We forget to respect and love the process, so we add to the problem. We may grow tired and weary in our soul, but we're too high to look back now. Keep climbing!

We must not lose hope even as the odds begin to stack against us. If there is even a small, miniscule chance, and each of our mistakes make that chance smaller, we must stay hopeful. We will get there if we just trust in our own ability. We are capable of greatness. We can go further than we ever thought we could, and we can climb even higher than thought possible.

We often climb so high, we feel as if we are on top of the world. We feel like we can do anything, but then are immediately humbled. We reach a roadblock or two, and begin to think we're not made for it. Why are such beautiful feelings crushed so dirtily? Because we can't do everything, but we sure can try.

We try to give up parts of ourself to keep going. We say we do not need anxiety, depression, or mania. We try to replace them with artificial emotions. This just will not work. We have to be whole for it to be us who crosses the finish line. We must make this climb with all parts of us intact. Some things just can not be done without them.

It is likely the reason we climbed this mountain in the first place. We want to do something great in the hopes we get rewarded with finding ourselves. The truth is that who we are is with us at all times, as we couldn't have made it this far without them. We must keep going because the higher we climb the clearer our head. Why is it then that the climb gets harder and harder?

The further you go the more intimidating it gets. You want to turn back but all that pain mustn't be for nothing. The harder it gets the stronger you become. The hurdles you jumped in the beginning are now boring. You want a greater challenge, but you don't want to fail. The best part of a challenge is that each failure gets you one less failure from success.

The vibrations of life move in your favor. Feel the energy and determination flow through you, and you can reach the top. Don't worry about whether you're going to win or fail this time. You shouldn't worry about how far you've got to go either. You should worry about finding a moment to rest when needed. Don't exhaust yourself, but keep on climbing.

There will come a moment where you know you're almost there. Everything will come together and fit like jigsaw pieces. I hope you reach this point and beyond it. It is a euphoria unlike any other. Keep going. You're almost there.

When you're at the top of the mountain you worked so hard to summit, you must make a decision. Do you want to stay at the top of the mountain, isolated and cold, or do you want to take a leap of faith? Do you want to know what lies beyond the mountain? Do you want to stay trapped and paralyzed with awe at the beauty of it all? Do you want something else entirely? Either way, you have to let go. It's time to say farewell either to the life you lived or the life you want to.

You're so close. You just need to go a little farther. Nows your chance to get everything you've dreamed of. Don't stop now. You can do this. All of your attempts have been worth it to make it this far. Don't worry about failing this time, follow your heart and you will know the way. You don't need to know where you're going, you already know this path was meant for you. Success is closer than ever before and you are an arm's length away. Reach out! This is no longer about making others happy, it's about the happiness you make for yourself. You're so high up, you've made it so far! Feel free to make all the mistakes you want because there's no turning back. Don't stop chasing your dreams, don't let them be crushed! The unknown awaits you and you must embrace it! Hold on to that hope! Never lose it, it is yours! That hope will be the very fuel you need to make a difference in this world! Every part of you will come together to cross the threshold of success. Greatness awaits you in your open heart. Don't feel overpowered or lost or anything of the sort. You can do this! That very rhythm of the soul, it is louder than ever before. You're almost there!

Only by letting go can you achieve greater heights, don't have yourself be tied to the floor with the weights of what you value. Say farewell and never stop climbing.

It's funny how we get attached to the struggle. The hardest part, after all, is letting go. The greatest challenge of all is saying farewell to our old self. We must take the first steps to confronting ourselves so that we may embrace that one part of us. Because they may or may not always be there when you want them to, but always they'll lend a hand when you need them to. Because in the end we don't know what lies beyond, but we know there's something out there for us. We must rest while we can, because tomorrow is another day to get back out there and climb even higher. Farewell, and may you find what you seek.

Because you have a choice to make, do you want to climb even higher, or do you want to move on to another mountain?
