Mantra
A long time ago I attempted to make a mantra for myself. A succinct phrase/idea that I would attempt to follow for the rest of my life.
I do believe I have improved and followed this mantra for the most part, but of course, as everyone does, they do veer off course at times. That is ok.
The mantra I came up with was this:
Be a rock that likes to climb.
Delving into my thoughts behind this. I imagine myself as a rock, who I truly am is who I am. I can't change that. I can improve though or climb.
It may be hard to imagine a rock climbing, but this demonstrates that it can be hard for any of us to change. It takes effort to employ or enact the changes you wish to happen.
I am still climbing to where I want to be and will continue to do so. Through struggles, failures, successes, sadness, happiness, and more.
Outlook is key, and so is at least a fuzzy destination or ambitious idea of where you want to go.
Let's climb together!
