We have all stood at the bottom of something and looked up. It seems a long way to the top. Self doubt, motivation (or lack thereof), physical and emotional limitations start weighing in. It pathetic but all have those perceptive filters that can completely debilitate us. A child learns to walk one step at a time. I have found that that first step is the toughest part. When I was beginning to mountain bike the hardest part was throwing my leg over the saddle and getting on the bike. I was scared of the pain and suffering of physical activity. You see the pain never really goes away; you just get faster and more efficient. Once you take the first step, then the second the third becomes that much easier….even if it is negligible.
My blog is about scaling mountains. The joy, the pain, and power to overcome the most simplest of hills to make it over. We all have them. Sir Edmund Hillary said “It is not the mountains we conquer but ourselves”.
