Just like moutaineers must watch out for falling ice and
debris, in life we must watch out for and stay away from:
- The people who are going to say you can't make it
- The people who will attempt to get you to go in another direction
- The people who never have anything good to say about anyone or anything
- The people who discourages growth and prosperty
Regardless of what others say or do, know that you can make it to the top, the
first step to getting there is simply believing in yourself, standing strong for yourself. If you don't believe
in yourself and if you are not grounded with the acceptance that you are who you are and that you are here for a purpose,
you're never going to accomplish your dreams. Think of how great it will be when you arrive at your destination.
Through all the blood, sweat, and tears, you made it. Close your eyes for just a moment and imagine how proud you will
be. You will at last have the chance to say " I made it".
Now what do you do? Please don't be selfish when you get there. It is your
turn to reach out and help others who may need a hand while they are climbing their mountain. It may be an encouraging
word to a stranger, or a hug or kiss to a love one. Everybody could use a hand every now and then. And don't forget
about the people who told you that you wouldn't make it. Please believe those same people are still down there discouraging
and misguiding others. You are now on top, be their voice in the right direction just as I am yours.
