The View From the Bottom and the View From the Top

When you stand at the bottom of a mountain and look up, the view can be daunting.

There is so far to go, so much climbing to do.

From the bottom, the mountain looks large, dangerous and foreboding.

It looks difficult and it’s tempting to give up before you start.

But if you’re willing to try and you stick with it, one day you will make it to the summit, where there will be another , much more appealing view.

You will be able to admire the scenery.

You will be able to look back with great satisfaction upon your achievements.

And your feelings of trepidation will be replaced with a sense of fulfillment.

There are many who look at the view from the bottom of the mountain, but too few who make it to the top.

So today, I just want to ask you one question:

As you look up at the challenges in front of you, are you daunted by the size of the mountain or excited by the possibilities?

Your answer and the action that you take as a result will determine whether or not you end up with a view from the top in the years ahead.
