The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery

One day, the mountain that was in front of you will be so far behind you, it will barely be visible in the distance. But who you become in learning to climb it? That will stay with you forever

The mountain is often less a challenge in front of us as it is a problem within us, an unstable foundation that might not seem evident on the surface but is nonetheless shifting almost every part of our lives.

When we let go of what isn’t right for us, we create space to discover what is. However, doing so requires the tre-mendous courage to put our pride aside and see things for what they really are.

We sabotage ourselves because it is the willingness to show up and simply do it, again and again and again, that ultimately brings us to a place of mastery.

No matter what it takes, I will never accept my life getting to this point again.

Take a piece of paper and a pen, and write down everything you aren’t happy with.

In the end, it is not the mountain that you must master, but yourself.

You must mourn the loss of your younger self, the person who has gotten you this far but who is no longer equipped to carry you onward.
