><> I Tried To Climb A Mountain Today <><

I tried to climb the mountain today.
As I inched my way up the path,
I felt overwhelmed,
so I had to turn back.

I tried to climb the mountain today.
On my journey, darkness started to fall,
and I was full of fear,
so I had to return to a safe place.

I was ready to climb the mountain today.
But it was so hot outside,
I thought I better stay
in my nice air-conditioned house
and rest up for tomorrow's attempt.

I was about to climb the mountain today.
But I had so many other things to do,
so instead of climbing the mountain
I took care of much more important tasks.
I washed my car, mowed the grass
and watched the big game.
Today the mountain will just have to wait.

I was going to climb the mountain today.
But as I stared at the mountain in its majestic beauty,
I knew I stood no chance of making it to the top,
so I figured why even bother trying.

I have forgotten about climbing the mountain today;
until a friend came by and asked me
what I was up to lately.
I told him I was thinking about climbing
that mountain some day.
I went on and on about how I was
going to accomplish this task.

Finally, he said, "I just got back from climbing the mountain.
For the longest time I told myself
I was trying to climb the mountain
but never made any progress.
I almost let the dream of making it to the top die.

I came up with every excuse of why
I could not make it up the mountain,
but never once did I give myself a reason why I could.
One day as I stared at the mountain and pondered,
I realized that if I didn't
make an attempt at this dream
all my dreams will eventually die."

"The next morning, I started my climb."
He continued, "It was not easy,
and at times I wanted to quit.
But no matter what I faced,
I placed one foot in front of the other,
keeping a steady pace.
When the wind tried to blow me over the edge,
I kept walking.
When the voices inside my head screamed "Stop!"
I focused on my goal, never letting it out of sight,
and I kept moving forward.

At times, I was ready to quit,
but I knew I had come too far.
Time and time again, I reassured myself
that I was going to finish this journey.
I struggled to make it to the top,
but I climbed the mountain!"

"I have to be going," my friend said.
"Tomorrow is a new day to accomplish more dreams.
By the way, what are you going to do tomorrow?"

I looked at him, with intensity
and confidence in my eyes, and said,
"I have a mountain to climb."
