Greetings, Summit Leaders.
Here are three steps in discovering how to build endurance to go higher in your career.
This week we will share steps two and three. Last week we shared step one.
1. Overwhelming gratitude.
2. Optimistic desire and passion.
3. One vision.
* Step two: Optimistic Desire and Passion.
Lhakpa Sherpa holds the women's world record for ascending Mount Everest nine times.
After seven trips, she expressed sincere gratitude for her accomplishments and said, "I am still not tired. I want to climb Everest a few more times. I want to climb it ten times."
Lhakpa's passion and desire to keep climbing and growing produce endurance.
Do you know what your potential is as a leader?
Your purpose is to achieve high and mighty things in your life and career journey.
Keep the vision in front of you as you climb. Every summiteer has an image of the summit in their hearts. Lhakpa says she climbs for others; her family, supporters, and her nation.
She stands at the peak of Mt. Everest; 29,029 feet above the global mean sea level with pictures of her two daughters held high above her head. "They are now higher than me." In another photo, she holds up the flag of the United States.
* Step three: One vision.
Sometimes during the ascent, our view of the summit may be blocked by thick clouds. When we can not see the peak with our eyes, we visualize it in our hearts and climb by faith and not by sight. We endure as though seeing the one who is invisible.
When standing on the summit, remember those who came before you and encourage others just as you were inspired.
"I am standing here because of Tenzing and Hillary. They brought me up here and which I never forget." Sherpa
One beautiful outcome of endurance is when we encourage others, in the same manner we were encouraged.
Let endurance make up complete, lacking nothing as leaders!
"Our aim is higher every year, and we always reach the mark. I base that prediction on faith and on what we have done in the past."
Thomas J. Watson, Sr.
It is the mark of a higher calling!
Victory!
