Success is
a difficult climb. Someone who’s never
had to work for it before, having things handed to them with little to no
effort, cannot appreciate or understand the journey the way the rest of us,
those who have to fight for every little step, can.
I’ve
succeeded at many things. I’ve failed at even more. Today, I find myself on another stairway
facing a multitude of steps before me, but I start the climb …one step at a
time.
I’m out of
shape, out of breath, and it seems out of patience, but I’m full of
determination. As I start my climb, I
feel the strain on my legs, back and butt muscles. With proper conditioning, a
steady pace, and plenty of water, I’ll find my stride and take those steps one
at a time.
I smile,
because I have a slight advantage to the other climbers along these jagged
steps… I’ve run this race a few times before.
I know the costs, but I also have tasted the victory at the top and
remember it’s sweetness. I also know
…it’s not how I start, but how I finish.
Are you on
your own set of stairs? If so, pace
yourself. I wish you a wonderful
journey. Don’t forget to keep your eyes
on the top, but every once in a while, glance around and see how far you’ve
come.
Till next
time,
