The Mountain Within


The greatest battles of all times are inside our own heads.  Think about your greatest achievements.  Great mountaintop experiences, right?  How many times did you want to give up on the way up?  Remember all those voices from the naysayers?  In order to succeed, you needed to leave them behind.  You also needed to stop listening to that inner voice inside you urging you to give up.

Parenting is like being a cheerleader.  Unfortunately, we can't be with our children all the time.  They can't hear us when they're in school or deployed overseas.  Or when they move away to another state to climb their own mountains.  The most important job we have is to teach our children to have confidence to climb every mountain.  Today I would like to give a shoutout to one of our adult children who was recognized by a committee at the university for his outstanding performance.  He conquered the mountain within.  What a joy to see him on top of that mountain.  Have a great day.
