Place Yourself on Top of the Mountain

I have a friend, Quinn, who knows the summits of many mountains. He understands the incredible perspective to be gained by reaching the summit of a new mountain. The challenge is in getting there. Once there, everything changes. There is a sense of pride of the accomplishment. There is a sense of awe of the view that can only be had from this place. Life from this view is beautiful and serene.


Life is filled with mountains. Not just the physical, geologic structures we commonly envision. There are mountains of a spiritual nature. There are mountains of an intellectual nature. There are mountains of every aspect of your being, your existence. You can view your life from the summit of any one of these mountains. It is easier than you might imagine. Indeed it is in your imagination that you may place yourself there.


Consider for a moment some goal you have that you wish to obtain. It could be in health, wealth, family relationships, or social status. Each idea is a mountain. And each idea can lift you to the summit in a moment if you but place yourself at the summit.


And this is the difference between these mountains and the earthen mountains we see with our eyes. You have the means to bring yourself to the summit of your own mountains at any time you choose. Doing so often and with purpose to understand your world from this perspective gives you the guidance you need to make it real for you.


If you have a dream, turn this dream into a mountain in your mind. Place yourself at its summit, and open yourself to guidance as to what you need to do to get there in your life. Then, immediately begin to do as you are inspired to do. Keep fear at bay by holding the image always in your mind of being at the summit.


Enjoy your experience in your mind. Enjoy the journey and consider it your own adventure. Make your imaginary mountain a part of your awareness, looking for the next step and bolding taking each step as the next one makes itself known to you. Your life will never be the same again.


I would like to thank my friend Quinn Calhoun for the inspiration to write this blog post. He has taught me much on my journey through this life experience.



I want YOU to succeed!!
