Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the growth occurs while you’re climbing it.

No pain, no gain! It's necessary to suffer or work hard in order to succeed 💪

I think one of the biggest lessons I've learned this year is to enjoy the ride, while trying to reach to highest peak. So, my thought are that the ride is way more important than the final outcome, because all the takeaways and learnings come from the ride. I am curious to find out more on this topic.

@adriana_virlan, breathtaking!
Give me the climb, never the summit.
Makes a lot of sense!

@codrut_rotaru, it sure does! 🚀

@codrut_rotaru that's right

It is about the journey! And the more you climb, the more you will realize that the place you thought of as being the top is just another step towards a whole new peak. And this applies to all areas.

@ionut_anisia exactly! There are always new mountains to climb!
@ionut_anisia you only go up and everything looks more and more magnificent.

Who can disagree with that?
@liviu_nasoi maybe someone who doesn’t like climbing 🤔

It's the journey that teaches you about the destination.

@ochanissi Beautiful!

I'm ok with that, but sometimes you start on top of the mountain. Then it's tough to maintain there. More often than not, a rolling ball will follow.
@victor_sava24 that is right
You don't need growth when you own the mountain. ✅

Even though all the growth does happen while climbing, I think it's ok not to like it. It's painful, frustrating, and challenging. You go through the hustle FOR the top of the mountain, and with it in mind.
It's ok not to like it - as long as you keep climbing... because when you get to the top, it will be worth it.

We live in the age of speed, we don't have any patience of any sort. Because of that, nobody has any respect for work and nobody wants to put the hours in... Everybody wants to be famous, to be successful, to be rich, but nobody wants to do any work in that direction. If somebody does any research into what it takes to be successful, they say "it's too much work, there has to be an easier way". The problem is that everyone promotes how's the view from the top but nobody show what it takes to get there...
Twiser
Re-phrasing the famous saying, "Happiness is not a destination, it is a journey", can say the same about growth.
It's not the point we want to eventually reach. It's the actual process.
No pain no gain 💪

I agree in theory, but we haven't made it to the top of the mountain yet. So it's tough to know what goes on up there. 😅
Of course I'm being half-serious here. If you continue to set more ambitious goals, you'll keep finding new mountains to climb!
