Together we can do anything
What is your Mt Everest? What is that huge albatross around your neck that in your mind is keeping you from moving forward?
It quiet possibly could be an excuse that you refuse to let go of, right. When things do not go as we hoped they would we often times lay out the martyr syndrome mentality so we can garner some sympathy from our support group, the wrong group mind you. That too places our lives into the martyr realm of which we so desperately need to escape.
What about your current career path, are you underemployed, unemployed, under appreciated, under utilized, non satisfied, barely engaged, just going through the motions, no passion, etc. Whether these are realities doesn't matter, if it is the way you feel it is your mountain to climb over or stay close to the bottom. This is one of the climbs that can seem hopeless if you allow yourself to be defeated. What makes this one so difficult is our feelings that we have to be responsible and live a lifestyle that satisfies the world around us more so than ourselves. Being passionate about our career opens up many facets in life and makes the assent to the top much more pleasant and rewarding. If you are struggling with career as your Mt Everest start slow moving your attitude in an upward direction. Focus on reaching the goal you dream of and do not allow yourself to be stuck in a nightmare that desensitizes you to that which is important. One step at a time will take you to the top.
Could your Mt Everest be the loss of a loved one that you are struggling to deal with? Or is it the fear of something that has yet to happen. Regardless what the obstacle is the issue is how to start defeating it. We were not built to be victims of life we were built and manufactured with the genes to be victors of life.
I consider life to be like exercise, the more you do it the better you feel. However if you choose to be a couch potato that refuses to find time for exercise all the sudden you do not feel so good and you do not look like you once did. So too with life. Refuse to tackle the problems and they eventually get to the point to where the look insurmountable. Conversely start climbing the mountain in small bits and one day the ascent will provide you with a spectacular view that few people will ever see. Life is not about the people that you see as lucky, it is about the people that keep climbing even when they slide down the slope a few times.
We all have that mountain that seems to high to climb or to steep to grip. That is where character and integrity are built.
Be sure when your friends get on a bandwagon or soapbox about some person, place, or thing that has infuriated them that you do not stand with them. It is ok to listen but never allow their rope to pull you down. It is up to us to do our best to pull others up but never at our own expense. If you are the person that tries to gain support for the latest water cooler gossip please stop. All that does is bring the world around you down to a level that breeds anger and contempt.
Be the sunshine that others look too, this is a tough landscape in which we live yet it is passable. No one can climb Mt Everest alone and no one can achieve life success alone. It takes us all doing our best to put one foot in front of the other.
In closing, next time you decide to air out a grievance or just gripe on social media consider what that is doing for you. Even better consider what it is doing for others. Sure you will get some comments from people that cheer on your anger but in the end it is the ones that move own in positive ways that will find the strength to start the climb. If you want proof of this I bet you know right now exactly who the people in your social circle are that complain all the time on social media, you might be one of them. I bet you also know the ones that are kind, considerate, positive, uplifting, and working hard to share life in a meaningful way.
Well, it is time for me to get my climbing shoes on and see how far up the mountain I can get. I can already see those ahead of me throwing me a rope and anchoring themselves to pull me up. Let's not allow anyone to pull us down today. It really is a choice.
peace to you
