No matter what you are trying to accomplish, there will always be a variety of things that will happen to you along the way. There will be steps to climb and paths to follow. There will be ups and downs, highs and lows. There will be clear directions and unchartered territory to cover. All of which you hope will lead you to your desired destination.
I saw these steps covered in moss and age, worn down by the years of travelers and traffic. And I thought about all the people who have gone before me wearing the safe places to step and guiding my way. Someone had to go first. Someone had to tackle the climb without any guidance or clues. Someone had to have the courage to move towards the goal, not always knowing if they were on the right path or where the path would lead. They took each step forward blazing the trail for those of us who would follow, days, months, or years later.
Today you may be the one blazing the trail, or you may be following along well worn steps. Either way I hope you keep moving forward with passion and enthusiasm. Those who follow you or the ones you are following deserve your best effort, no matter how hard the climb may seem.
