The Climb

Today's a little bit of an inspiration. I think we're often caught up in what we should be doing, where we should be going and where we need to be.

Isn't the most important bit actually completing the journey? How often have we traveled a path only to realise that once we've gotten to the end, the goal didn't really matter all that much? Having changed our point of view and ultimately ourselves along the way.

Today's song, "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus focuses on the challenges that we face. Not about getting to the top but simply going through the actual event itself. After all, we all have our mountains to climb, it's important to stop and take in the view once in a while.

I can almost see it.
That dream I'm dreaming, but
There's a voice inside my head saying
You'll never reach it
Every step I'm takin'
Every move I make
Feels lost with no direction,
My faith is shakin'
But I gotta keep tryin'
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' 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
I've just gotta keep goin', and
I gotta be strong
Just keep pushing on, but

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waitin' on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on movin'
Keep climbin'
Keep faith baby
It's all about, it's all about
The climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, woah

Didn't someone once say life's a journey, not a destination? Heck, take the long way home.
