Okay, I love this!! I have been reflecting recently, realizing I was helping others with their ‘climbs’ through teaching. I find myself counseling my nephews a bit more on the ways of life now that I’m no longer in the classroom, but look forward to the next best avenue to help even more people.
Your situation doesn’t have to match up perfectly to be relatable and help others with their perspective on the way to their summit. I like that you mention yes it’s not perfect, it’ll be messy, you essentially might need a band aid or two for the blisters you developed along the way, but it can still be beautiful in the end and something you carry on into life’s next experience.
I also really liked that you said this work cannot be outsourced (unfortunately). I have people close to me avoiding this work and it’s hard to witness. I’ve explained many times before: no one is coming to save you, do it for you, bail you out of your mindset, etc. Sure, others can hand you water and cheer for you on the way, but ultimately you’re in charge of how you handle what comes next. I hope more people learn about this and apply it. Not sure where along the way we started relying on external sources for our fulfillment. 👎🏼
We are all slated “work” AKA mountains to climb in this life.
We must personally carry our responsibilities around in our metaphorical backpacks to grow through life but there’s no way we could move a huge boulder (burden) off the path without some help!
Overcoming obstacles is our responsibility to carry. There actually is so much joy during/after the climb!!
Enjoying the content and aesthetic of your articles! :)

Grow, baby, grow.
Exactly! We only grow when we choose to climb!
