Why Climb?
What is above knows what is below.
What is below does not know what is above.
One climbs, one sees, one may descend and see no longer, but one has seen!
There is an art to conducting one's self in the lower regions of life, by the memory of what one saw higher up.
Choosing to climb makes all the difference in life.
Whether the way looks easy or difficult--choose to climb.
Whether your goal seems near or far--choose to climb.
Whether the path becomes rocky or rugged--choose to climb.
Whether you become weary and discouraged--choose to climb.
Whether you lose all hope and wonder if it will be worth it--choose to climb.
Whether you have to stand up, stand apart or even stand alone--choose to climb.
We should commit to pursue the opportunities of our day with such passion and zeal that when our final chapters are written, we will be able to boldly declare, "I chose to climb!"
The view from higher up is always worth the climb.
