The Mountain's Summit

Went hiking again this weekend at Crowder's Mountain. My friend Sarah and I took the Pinnacle Trail and this is where we ended up. Pretty awesome. It's pretty cool, even though the summit of this peak: King's Pinnacle only gets to be about 1,700 feet it still feels like an amazing accomplishment to reach the top after a few hours of hiking.

There was one part that I felt like I was going to pass out. No joke, I hadn't hiked any trails in a long time and it was tough. I had to take it easy, drink more water and take breaks. But it felt good to make it to the top. And I also know that this isn't the first. I'm planning on hiking part of the Appalachian Trail later this summer. So this is the first of many trails that I will hike.

Sometimes I think we have to look at our lives this way. With a little focus, dedication and determination we can get to the top of anything in our way. Little or small, we have to take our successes (and failures) and allow it to train us for the next mountain we have to face.

What mountain do you want to climb? What's in your way?
