There are some shortcuts that are alright to use. We use them quite often when we are using technology. Ctrl+X; Ctrl+V. On and on. You get the picture.
We’re fine using them if it will save us some time editing a document but using shortcuts when we are pursuing a dream or working toward a goal is careless.
When it comes to reaching your goals there are no shortcuts.
The only way to the top of the mountain is to climb it.
The only way to the other side is sometimes through the valley.
There is no shortcut to the top or to the other side.
Too many dreams are left at the foot of a mountain or the edge of the valley but don’t leave yours there too.
Accept the climb. You will find more people climbing the mountain with you once you start the climb.
Accept the journey into the valley. You cannot avoid it. It will make you stronger and more resilient and there will be plenty of people on the valley path with you.
Don’t look for the shortcuts and if you find one don’t take it. The best road to your dreams is to rise up and face the challenges moment by moment, step by step.
You will be stronger and better for it in the long run. It will be worth it and the view will be amazing.
I’m cheering for you.
