The Mountain of Accomplishment

Sep
1. The Climb
Do you remember the time when you accomplished something extremely difficult? And that feeling of awesomeness just overwhelmed you upon completion?
It might have been working your ass off all night or simply finishing the last rep on your squat. It felt like hell but you went through it and came back stronger.
The lesson here: Keep on pushing on when things get tough because nothing worth having ever comes easy.
The perfect example to illustrate this would be climbing a mountain.
Unless you plan on being stranded on a mountain, you can never call it quits. That’s the beauty of mountain climbing, you must finish the climb.
I dare you to approach every daunting task as if it was a mountain climb. The more daunting the task, the higher the peak and the more effort you will need to put in.
You need to know that huge accomplishments will never be completed easily, just like how a tall peak can never be conquered in a day.
2. The journey
Channel all your focus on the end goal, for this will be your guide and compass. The journey might not be pleasant and you will face obstacles.
You might need to go down a ravine and then climb back up. Or you might even need to weather long durations of thunderstorms. If you ever tried conquering a mountain, you will know what I’m talking about.
On the mountain there will be things that will try to cause you to stray from you path. In life, it is exactly the same. There will be negative people who will discourage you and hold you back from fulfilling your dreams. You must find a way around them and leave them behind, don’t let them hold you back.
You will have to endure cold weather, cuts and bruises. However most of the time success doesn’t come without painful sacrifices.
Not willing to cut down your cheesecake consumption? Forget about losing fat and looking awesome.
Are you afraid of hard work and discipline? Your dreams will only remain as dreams.
3. The top
We need to make the necessary sacrifices that will bring us closer to our goals. Sometimes it is necessary to endure hardship in order to reach the top.
Remember that you will be stuck only if you quit. And once you quit, the beautiful view on the mountain top will be nothing more than an illusion.
Do what you need to do to succeed because it’s much more painful to give up than to work hard.
The climb to the top will be harder than staying on top. Once you reach the peak, feel free to enjoy the labours of your journey.
No one will chase you down, because not everyone is like you, not everyone is strong enough to fight through hardship and not everyone will make it.
What’s the mountain you are currently trying to climb? Is the journey tough or pleasant? Let me know what you are facing in the comments so I can help you. Also share this with someone you know who is currently facing some difficulty in life because some days we all could use some motivation.
