My Uber driver was telling me about how his grandson got into climbing mountains in Colorado. The passion slowly came after he climbed his first mountain.
Funny enough, it wasn’t the fresh air or the feeling of accomplishment when he made it to the top that got him wanting to climb another.
His first climb was actually an incomplete. Not only that, he was covered in sunburn, hydrated, but malnourished and realized there were some tools he didn’t bring with him to make the ascent.
The only reason he kept climbing? He figured he might as well climb again since he learned so much from his first attempt.
And that’s the two-fold key right there.
Learn something from your efforts and then do it again with that knowledge.
A book doesn’t do much good sitting on the shelf.
Nor does knowledge in your brain.
Stay Positive & Keep Climbing
