Inspo from the Mountaintop in
“You are safe, you are secure. Everything that’s meant to happen will happen. You are more than enough. “💯🔥♥️
I wrote that in my travel blog - mytravelwhy.wordpress.com - and it's a message that will never stop resonating with me.
💡You can’t know where you are going… unless you know where you have been. 👣
REPEAT the words that you have told yourself in the scariest moments of your climbs because they will not fail you in reaching your … again and again.
True Story:
At 2:00 a.m., a 4+ hour climb to get to the top by sunrise
Overcoming Fear: Had to overcome un-precedented experiences/challenges/heights I hadn’t faced before and occasionally slipping😳 in the pitch black night on this climb.
Had to literally selftalk and remind myself I would not ❌ die, I would not faint, fail or falter. Had to slow down, had to pause. Had to not worry about the pace of anyone next to me, also could not obsess over getting to the ultimate destination or how long it took or what part of the mountain others considered the top.
What kept me focused, present, more joyful than fearful and ultimately alive was concentrating on exactly what was in front of me, focusing on just putting one foot in front of the other and trusting where that would land me. 🙏🏾 . . .
Cheers to breaking boundaries🏔 that didn’t come to break us but to shape us!!
