THOUGH SHREDDED, CONQUER

See the Summit Amidst the Storms

It's been said that at high altitude storms can start in seconds. Like a wildfire, these frozen hurricanes blind the senses. Amidst the madness, climbers must rely on their internal instinct to feel the summit.



They have seen their successful completion it in their vision so many times before.

Now they feel it. As the storm blinds, they press on by sense.

Instead of reacting to the storm because of surprise, they respond by sense. They are not surprised. They are prepared. Despite their surroundings....they press on. One option, one outcome...summit.

When storms set in your life and hover and swirl over your circumstance, how do you respond? How do you react. Do you mentally collapse into worse-case scenario mode.




When your world is being blown to pieces, do you feel shredded?

At times, I do.

I am choosing to see the storms differently. I seek to climb on and get above it. I want to look back see that despite the circumstances, I was able to conquer the summit.

Until then, conquer.
