You’re never really quite sure what’s coming around the corner. You’ve been promised hope and a clear path into the future, but you’ve also been promised pain and dreaded suffering. The path taken on accident is often less difficult than the path chosen out of reluctance.
The path of reluctance, has around the corner, a gauntlet waiting to greet you. Behind the gauntlet a steep road with numerous switchbacks up a rocky mountain. At the top, you hope to see a rising sun over the Valley of Tranquility. But to get into the valley, you must start the journey downward. Easier moving down it may be, however, there are still obstacles and switchbacks. So care must be taken.
Such is health: mental, physical, and spiritual. They are symbiotic, you cannot have one without the other and you’re nothing without all three except skin and bone. They should be cared for diligently. Sometimes things happen. Life happens. We need repairs. It is okay. Repair. The only way to climb a mountain is to climb it slowly and steadily. You must assemble a team around you to get you up and down safely and trust them to guide you where you need to be. Most importantly, remember that conquering the mountain isn’t your goal, your goal is to reach the tranquil valley.
