Story time…
1st January, 2010.�Top of Mt Warning at sunrise. Harry was one year old… strapped to my back as we climbed in the dark to reach the summit for the first sunrise of the year.
I remember the feeling so clearly. My shere determination to do it. The vision of the end goal at the top. The quiet conversations in my head that I had the whole way, knowing this was about way more than the climb.
And when we reached the top… the sense of accomplishment was huge.�Not because anyone else was watching but because I had proven something to myself that still sits with me today. The process of it all.
Harry was my why then and he still is today.
But something has shifted over the years. Back then there was a big part of me that wanted to prove something to the outside world. These days that part has softened.
The need to prove anything to anyone else has dissolved… and honestly, that feels incredibly FREEING.
But one thing hasn’t changed.
I still approach life the same way:
• A vision of what’s possible�• A deep reason why it matters�• A pathway to get there�• And then… action that needs to be taken.
Because the truth is, most things we achieve in life aren’t about talent.
They are about showing up and continuing the climb.
And now this little one-year-old on my hip……is 15 years old.
And because of that, the “why” is even stronger.
