Climbing the Mountain

The path of personal transformation
Is akin to climbing a mountain.
We always keep an eye on the ultimate goal,
But we recognize the importance
Of taking the time 
To stop along the way
To rest,
To regroup,
To recharge,
And to take stock of the hard work 
We have already done,
Allowing ourselves to take in
Of all the progress
That we have already made.
This gives us the resolve 
To carry on.
