Life is Like Hiking: Climb the Hill and Let No One Hold You Back!

Nature's Way in Art Gallery

Hiking is like life, It may feel uphill but each day you get out there it gets easier with time. Once you climb some distance from the head of the trail you can look back at the people still lounging at the bottom. They are still there but have not found the courage to strap on their boots and look upon those who started the journey with a level of envy and disdain. 

The first challenge any person must take is to decide to take the journey. While you may have stood once at the bottom of the hill you are cut from a different cloth and took the first steps. You could ignore the decenters and naysayers and have confidence in yourself. 

There is a lot of wrong and good in this world and we know that just by walking out our door every morning. Some people have experienced everything from being lied about all the way over to witnessing free passes for racial and religious-based cleansings. 

As a matter of point, even when they look back and the folly of people's minds and lack of moral conscious (i.e. morally awake and aware) they do so because they are much higher on the path winding up the hill. They have a deeper understanding of law and morality far beyond the average.

Each calamity and setback is a learning lesson and one should thank those transgressors for the lessons they have taught. They improvised, adapted, and overcame where the vast majority would not have overcome or even recognized the challenges.

“Watch a man in times of…adversity to discover what kind of man he is; for then at last words of truth are drawn from the depths of his heart, and the mask is torn off.” Titus Lucretius Carus

Life cannot define you, but your reaction to life creates your character and sharpens your skills. Those at the bottom of the hill cannot touch the sky nor do they understand the world in which they live. Their words and comments about you are about as useless as their thoughts about themselves.💁
