The purpose of going for a hike, ironically, is not to get to the top.
It's to be on the trail.
And if you constantly stare at the top, you're going to be out of breath. You're going to tell yourself you have so much longer. When are are we going to get there?
And you are going to miss the entire point of your fricking life.
It is not about getting on that mountain, because when you get to the top of that mountain, the top of one mountain is just the bottom of another one.
And if you're going up, eventually you got to come back down Like that is just life.
If you focus on the frickin trail, whatever step you're on and you keep reminding yourself this is going to lead me somewhere, that is where the meaning comes in your life.
