Monday Mountain - 4/25/2016

Attitude towards altitude


Sky's the limits. Fly high. Reach for the stars. And so on.


In so many ways we encourage one another to strive for something established in a lofty location. Now imagine the heights of some goals that they can set their mind to. If they set these goals, at what altitude do they rest? Does the elevation dip and rise depending on your actions, or does the flying machine dip and soar?

While reading Quintessential Voyage, you may have noticed that the establishment of high-reaching goals is encouraged and should in-fact be habitual. Committing to your goals is a commitment to your success and future self. In these situations, where does the elevation of your objectives come into play?

Personally, analogies to "flying" freak me out, specifically when it comes to striving towards risky accomplishments. Rather than to call it "flying," I prefer to call it "climbing."

Climbing mountains is hard, arduous, and constitutes moving upward and onward. Having climbed a few mountains in my life, the amount of effort it takes to reach that destination is huge. You must travel over vertical elevation, horizontal distance, push forward, take it one step at a time, look up, consistently progress, and keep in perspective where you've gone and where you're going.

What mountains will you climb? Are they seemingly insurmountable or are they majestically moving?
