What do you think of the view you see above? It’s gorgeous isn’t it?

That’s the view from my cousin’s house. But for the purposes of this article, this view represents where you are trying to reach, where you are trying to get to.

That view represents how you will feel once you have achieved the weight loss; the new partner; that raise or new job. Whatever it is that you are striving to achieve, you believe that once you get to the top, ‘the view’ will make everything worth it. All the hurt, all the pain, all the suffering, all the rejection, all the millions of times that you felt that you weren’t good enough.

We want it to be worth it. We want our pain and suffering to lead us to our version of heaven. We want to get to the top, survey our new kingdom and to bask in the feeling of having our goal.

However, before we can reach the top, we need to learn how to climb. All of us as human beings have a series of steep, long ass, hills to climb.

It’s called life.

I’m going to tell you the 3 things to help you ace climbing those hills, no matter your circumstances or obstacles. But first here is an important photo,

here is my hill.
