Just as the mountains are defined by the contours of their ups and downs so is life We will have times we are faced with unthinkable obligations and responsibilities that cause stress and anxiety If we can consider why and how we became positioned to deal with such adversity perhaps we can find some silver lining that we ve somehow been positioned to handle such a task If not for pain would we as fully appreciate the sensation of severe joy Were we not in a position to overcome an obstacle then how could we celebrate the completion of any great feat As frustrating and difficult as the truth may be success is only garnered when the burden of a painful task has been overpowered by the perseverance of a trial to excise it from our present then archive it into our past Climb on the reward of your summit will soon overshadow the crux comprising the pain of your ascension We ve got this Without mountains we might find ourselves relieved that we can avoid the pain of the ascent but we will forever miss the thrill of the summit And in such a terribly scandalous trade-off it is the absence of pain that becomes the thief of life Craig D Lounsbrough
