“Sometimes our new mindset doesn't align with our old lives. We've spent our whole lives conquering the wrong mountain and now we are so afraid to leave the top. Though our new mindset would no longer allow us to be happy on this mountain, we are still hesitant. We were taught our whole life that life is one mountain. One career path, one relationship, one purpose, and one box. We are so scared to be at the foot of the right mountain. So used to being Kings and Queens that we are scared to get back to the foundation of the pyramid; a place where if you tell your new peers about your past while going through your new mountain's challenges, they won't believe. Most of the time we aren't happy because we're trading social acceptance for peace. How ignorant are we to think that life is just one mountain? God may bless us with 70 years to be productive, but we want to lay down in 5. Don't be scared to be at the foot of another mountain; because when you stop growing you die.”
