Everyday Inspiration: Climbing Mountains

photo credit: valerie geary
I do not believe in moving mountains. 
That is an impossible task. 
The thing to do, then, is to put one foot in front of the other and start climbing.
Eventually, you'll reach the top...but the journey, and what you discover along the way, is far better.
The journey is the reason we climb. 
That, and this burning desire to feel alive.
