Mountain walk

As you walk up the mountain road, look up to the summit to remind yourself where you are going.Do not forget, however, to take each step at a time.
Do not become disheartened at the height you have to climb; each day will bring you closer.
Fellow travelers that you meet may share your path for a while but ultimately you climb alone.
Follow the path, for it is your guide. Do not be distracted by the pathways of others for they are theirs alone.
When tired, rest. Enjoy the moment and reflect on your progress. But do not confuse the progress you have made with the goal.
Enjoy the Vistas available to you at this moment in the climb but never forget tthat they are only part of the whole, at the summit only will you be able to understasnd the complete picture.
These views are only a benefit and not the undertaking itself. To reach the summit you must walk the path so rise again my friend, we have a long way to travel.
