Success is like taking a hike in the hills. The trail is often laid by the a few or hundreds who have gone before you. With so many trees and bushes, its hard to see past the first bend. Once a few steps are taken towards that first bend, the next way point becomes visible.
The path looks rocky and hard but you continue forward knowing the destination is beautiful. You could see it from below. Its your motivation and guide. You continue to move from one way point to the next. The path often times becomes thin and difficult to follow, but as you trust your instinct and faith, eventually you pick up the trail again and move forward. One step after another, one way point after another.
Before you know it, you have cleared the trees and are looking at the valley and path you just took. Its a beautiful sight. You remember that little boulder that you scrapped your knee on, the creek you barely leaped across, the excitement you caught when you rediscovered the path you wandered from. Then it hits you, the valley and path below, the journey is more beautiful then mountain you stand atop. That’s why we start that blind walk through the woods with little more then faith and a slightly worn path to guide us.
