Climb for the View

Only the people who climb the mountain get to enjoy the view. You cannot get it from the bottom, and you cannot get it by wishing. You get it by taking the hike, step after step, even when your legs burn.

Your vantage point changes as you climb. What looked impossible from the base looks different halfway up, and different again near the top. The view you are longing for is real, but it is earned in the climbing.

So the question is not whether the view is worth it. It is whether you are willing to take the hike of your life. You adjust your view as you go. You just have to keep going.
