117. A hiking analogy

You have a big mountain to climb, and you have been struggling for hours and you see thet you are not at the top yet. You are tired, your energy is depleted, you are discouraged.

Take a short rest and focus on the beauty that exists around you. Enjoy the orange that you packed for its sweet fresh refreshment. Have a good drink of water. Talk to your companions and let them know you appreciate them. Then with your fresh shot of energy, a heightened sense of community and purpose, continue the climb at a slow and steady pace. The summit is attainable.
