The Joy is in the Climb ~

Many days I have thought, "If I can just make it until such-and-such a time in my life, I'll be ok." But I don't want to wait until then ~ I will be ok right now! When I get out of school, when I get my degree, when I get married, when I get a better job, when I get a dog, when I get settled in a church, when I get my own house, when I ... when, when, WHEN!! But I'm done spending my life waiting for something to happen, when things happen each and every day. THIS is my life and I am going to live every minute, the good and the bad, and stop waiting for... whatever comes next. Because is isn't about what's on the other side of tomorrow or how fast I get there, it's what I learn during the climb.
The Climb ~ sung by Miley Cyrus
I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down But
no, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!
