Hiking song…

“In this life we are all just walking up the mountain, and we can sing as we climb or we can complain about our sore feet. Whichever we choose, we still gotta do the hike. I decided a long time ago singing made a lot more sense.”

It is important to remember why you are climbing the mountain the first place. With the vision and goal firmly in mind it is much easier to sing.

I’ve never understood people that put their focus on the things they want to complain about. They talk about others behind their backs. They put their attention on what isn’t going right. They bemoan what they don’t have or what others don’t do as well or the same way they would have done them.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to hike up a mountain, any mountain in life, with a person who sings those kind of songs. These people have a “hiking song” of life that I don’t want to listen to or take part in. It’s just not worth it. It distracts from all the beauty and positivity in the world.

Choose your song carefully. People are listening…
