The view up here is incredible!

A lot of crappy stuff happens to a lot of good people! And these people have a lot of different ways of processing the crap that happens in their lives.

Some of this crap that piles on top of people might include; guilt, hurt, betrayal, disappointment, jealousy, loss, and even just plain old bad luck. I'm sure you can think of more negative stuff that I haven't mentioned.

When this stuff piles on top of you, the tendency is to dwell on this bad stuff and that just mulitplies it in your mind. The pile gets bigger and bigger until it is the proverbial mountain and that mountain is on top of you!

This may sound overly simplistic (and it is) however at some point you are either going to be buried alive under a mountain of crap or you have to decide to get out and find some sunshine in your life. The moment you decide to find the sunshine again you start scaling the mountain of negativity.

Climbing mountains is not easy, sometimes you slide back and have to pick yourself up and start anew. But there is a reward! When you conquer the mountain, the view is incredible. Every once in a short while I read about people that conquered their mountain of negativity and they have the most wonderful and inspiring stories. Somehow at the top of the mountain the air is a little cleaner, the sun a little warmer and the serenity comforting. With the view comes understanding and compassion for those still buried beneath the mountain.

Ahh, but when these freed souls see someone who has decided to get out and climb their own mountain, they are the perfect choice to help them. Their experience is invaluable!

One more thing, those that scale their mountain have a much greater appreciation for all the good things in life. They have seen both the highest high and the lowest low. So in their own way they have been blessed.
