So Be Huge

~ Life isn't really about climbing to the top of a mountain.. it is climbing to the top of one mountain at a time... those mountain top experiences are exhilarating but short lived.. Life is more about the climb, the hazards of the downhill, the journey to the next mountain whether over desert or through the valleys.. when we think there is an eternal rest on this earth, we set ourselves up for discouragement.. 
that rest will come, but this is not that Life.

~ Keeping in mind that the uphill climb exhausts so much in us.. but that the downhill exhausts and challenges a whole other set of muscle and skill and character in us as well... May God give us a right spirit in the climb, in the down hill, on each mountain top in life, and in every valley we must journey through.

~ You know.. when you really think about it... it's not about the mountain or the valley or the terrain at all.. they were there before you and will be there long after you are dust.. it's about how you are changed, the mountain's effect on you, how the valley shaped your character.. what you took away from that experience, what you choose to do with the wisdom and victory or defeat that you walk through each time... the mountain doesn't care.. it will stand in boredom, challenging many others after you.. but you are alive, you will speak of it, you will continue to walk it out, to encounter others, to tell the story, to share complaint or encouragement with others... the real power rests in you, not in the mountain. It is you who affects the world and the people you encounter in life... the mountain is a small thing in that respect. So be Huge ♥
