As many of you know, I recently took a trip to Alaska. It’s hard to believe that it’s been over a week since I came home. The trip was just what I needed. I think it’s good for the soul to leave the city behind and delve into nature. I’m convinced that hiking is a metaphor for life. You climb and climb and just when you think you can’t climb anymore, you reach the peak, only to find yourself surrounded by more mountains as far as the eye can see. Life presents us with many challenges but we can choose to keep pushing forward toward the next peak. There is always something higher, a greater challenge, a bigger goal. What’s your next goal? What’s one thing that you can do tomorrow that you couldn’t do today? What will you be able to do in a month? Six months? A year? Can you make it 5 more minutes on the treadmill? Can you lift 5 more pounds? Can you lose that 25 pounds once and for all? Can you train for your first race? I challenge you. Look up at that peak, put one foot in front of the other and go for it!
