The muddy mountain

Climbing is tough
But therein lies its beauty
It should be enjoyed
Tasted and fully absorbed

The view
From the top
Is amazing.
Beautiful. Breath-taking.

One has to focus
On that end goal
The view.

While at the same time
Being fully present
To the climb.

Focus on
The micro.
Think about
The macro.

Life is tough.
You have to work
To stay
where you are.

Work harder
To get ahead
And fall behind
Without work.

Life is
A muddy mountain.
Resting means
Getting washed down.

Fighting to get on top
We lose sight
Of the pointlessness.

And still
We have to keep going
Day after day
To climb that mountain.

Surrendering the mud
Means falling
Into victim mentality.

Accepting failure.
Even though
The tough climb
Is was makes life
Worth living.

Stay awesome and don’t fail to build!
