Looking up at the huge mountain looming above you, you once again wonder what you are doing here. Are you truly strong enough to embark on a journey that leads you into the vast unknown? There is only one way to find out.

Leaving the Valley of Familiarity

You have been hiding out in the valley before the mountain for a long while. Licking the wounds of the losses you suffered. The valley started out as a comforting refuge. Now it is the safety blanket you cling to.

Part of you whispers, “You could be so much more. This was supposed to be a temporary retreat. A place to catch your breath. Not the rest of your life.” But on the days when the wounds of loss bleed and ache, this voice is very soft.

On other days the voice speaks boldly, “Staying in this valley means staying trapped between who you were and who you could be. When will you answer the call and start on your journey towards a better life?”
