When my family climbed the Guadalupe Peak earlier this year, I noticed many parallels to real life.
In order to stay consistent you must:
- Commit to do it. We met people along the way who didn’t prepare for the terrain (one woman was in heels), so they had to turn back.
- Have community. Have a few people around you that won’t let you quit. On both that physical mountain and my life mountains, that’s my husband. I would have quit many things a long time ago if it wasn’t for him.
- Celebrate. Enjoy the views at every turn. The peak was beautiful but each switchback had an equally as breathtaking view. Enjoy the journey.
My friends, the only way I have accomplished anything worthwhile in my life is by showing up consistently. It’s not always easy or fun. I’ve wanted to quit many times.
