Hiking The Mountain of Life

Hiking The Mountain of Life

Today I went on a hike with my brother Brent. The hike was REALLY dang hard, whereas a lot of it was so steep! We were hiking up to the "Y" on "Y Mountain." I think we can relate life to hiking. There were so many times I wanted to stop the hike because it was getting to hard. For most of the hike, we couldn't even see the "Y" on the mountain. There were a lot of times that I slipped on the trail. And there were a lot of times we had to slow down either to enjoy what was around us, or to take a deep breath. Luckily I had my brother there to talk to. While we were hiking, I got a very important call for college. There were a lot of things like this thrown at me while I was hiking up to the top. When we got to the top, the view was worth it. I said to my brother "I feel good." And I really did feel good. I did something, and I finished strong.

In life, there are a lot of times we want to give up, but we cannot! There are a lot of times you can't see your goal (like the "Y" on the mountain). But don't worry, it is there. Of course we slip up sometimes, but you dust yourself off, get up, and try again. Sometimes in life we need to slow down and enjoy what is going on around us. Take everything in. It all will not always be there someday. Family is important because they will always be there whether they like it or not! There are a lot of important calls in lives and a lot of opportunities thrown at you, you won't be able to take them all, but you will know which ones are right. We can finish this life strong,  endure to the end. You will be happy.

Life can be tough! You will finish strong, I promise. It will not be easy, but it will be worth it.
