If You Stop You Won't Get to the Top

Sometimes I feel like I'm carrying a heavy backpack that's getting heavier every day, and walking on a muddy path, knee deep in mud. When there's a stump along the way, I sit on it to rest for a while. In moments like this I just want to surrender and sit on that stump forever. But I wouldn't get anywhere like this.

Then I become aware of the sun, the trees and the birds. I become aware of the beauty of this life. I gratefully accept the moment and regain my strength. I get up with unbearable weight on my shoulders and continue my way on a muddy path. After all that's the only way to get to the top.

Thanks to Mustard seed and her post. It inspired me to write this.

See you at the top!
