My feet hurt as I rise in elevation on the mountain. I was already depressed and tired from an hour of climbing, but yet to reach my goal of reaching this mountain's summit.
I've been told all my life that obstacles can be tricky, but nothing is impossible. It doesn't seem true right now. But there was something inside of me.
The thing kept yelling, "Keep going with your resilience! You are strong and powerful!" I took out of my fixed mindset and decided to listen to the tiny voice.
I took one more step. And another. Then another.
Two and a half hours later, I reached the mountain's summit, at last. I stare down at this impressive feat of mine.
