@Hilda – That’s a great quote, and says it quite well. And generally speaking, we usually only have enough light for that first step. We have no idea HOW it’s gonna work out.

@Wilson – I think you’ve got it, Bubba! No mountain CAN be high enough to keep us from challenging it. Go for it!

Great point Robert! Just cos you don’t know how you’re gonna do it doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t. I have to remind myself of that so often. As Martin Luther King said, “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”

To me, mountains = obstacles!

I’m normally have many “mountains” in my daily life, but most of the time, I’m able to climb up the mountains and conquer it. As Marvin Gaye always sang, “ain’t no mountain high enough!”…

@Scott – Try this two-step process: 1) Close eyes, and 2) Step!

Now open your eyes and see where you landed. Rinse and repeat as needed.

Fear keeps me pretty much in suspended animation. Fear of heights (reaching the goal), fear of falling (only partly reaching the goal and ending up worse than I was), fear of the unknown (I don't know). I'm also afraid at times that though the first step is right there, what if the land that is in front of me isn't solid? Then, I back away. And just peer beyond that first step.

Not sure how I even happened upon this website but been reading for quite a while now. I thank you for your interesting and motivating posts. Probably a good thing I fell upon these on a dreary depressing Monday – it sure lifted my spirits!

@Karen – The mountains we face every day always look steep – that’s why they’re so daunting. but the truth that gets me from this picture is that oftentimes we add more to than there really is – y’know, more peaks to climb, more heights to scale – when in fact it might only be one thing.

*sigh*

Ironically, the best way to find that out for ourselves is to simply climb.
