PERSEVERING AS I REACH FOR GOALS CAN BE LIKE CLIMBING MOUNTAINS. Some mountain climbers are willing to do almost anything, risk anything, and give up everything just to reach their goal - the mountaintop.
Mountain climbers determine that they're going to reach their goal no matter what happens. They endure freezing temperatures and lots of expected and unexpected hazards; they leave behind all the comforts of home. They get scratches and bruises. They even risk their lives.
They endure a lot, because they want to make it to the top of the mountain. They want to reach their goal, no matter how hard it gets. That's the kind of commitment I'll need in order to reach many of my goals in life. The things I'm trying to learn or accomplish might get real tough along the way, but I'll try not to let that stop me. I think of the mountain climbers and what they endure, and the sacrifices I might have to make won't seem so bad.
Once I get to the top of my mountain, once I reach my goal, I'll be thrilled. I'll want to keep climbing new mountains, reaching new goals, and experiencing the thrills of exploring new territories. :D
