It's the climb

In the last 2 days, I have heard the song, "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus on the radio three times! And I haven't heard it in months. Maybe just a coincidence, maybe a sign. Whatever it is, it is a great reminder for the kind of mentality that I need to have. 

The song is about how reaching goals is not going to be easy, yet it is the journey that is the important part. And when it's not easy and you push through it, that is when you grow and learn and come out a stronger person. So here is to me pushing through it.

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

So true! I always have a hard time enjoying the journey because I'm so focused on the destination. But then when it seems too far away, I just give up! I totally need to have this attitude as well.
About the comment you left me, I think that's a really good idea. Maybe once I get past that hurdle of "how will I look and feel or how will I think about myself once I lose?" will make it less scary. I hope so anyway!

Let's do this climb together. You can do it - helping you all the way- as your blog can help me!!! I have been up and down for the last two months - and won't say it has been because of busy this and busy that. Just not focusing on what I really WANT to do, but only "have" to do! Let's get the focus back together!!! 3X exercise this week - one goal, water - 2nd goal - just two things this week - let's see how we both do!!
