This week I dive into the life lessons I have learned thanks to the greatest teacher I've ever had, the Adirondack Mountains. The mountains will teach you a lot about yourself and real life if you let them… 1. No one can get you to the summit. It’s up to you to do the work. 2. One foot in front of the other IS the formula. This will never change. Too tired to get back down? Too bad. You still have to walk back whether you want to or not. 3. The mountains don’t care about you. If you disrespect them you will be put in your place. 4. Your bank account, status in life, skin color, age, sex, etc are all irrelevant. The mountains don’t care. You will either get to the summit or you won’t exactly the same as everyone else. 5. Climbing a mountain is hard. But so rewarding when you finally make it to the top. But if you quit easily you’ll never experience the top. 6. If you turn around because it’s “too hard” the mountain doesn’t care. It will remain unchanged. The only one who loses is you. 7. Every mountain has its place in the story Connect on Social Media: Find the podcast on social media @46of46podcast Follow James on instagram @jamesappleton46 My Website: WWW.46of46.COM PLANNING TO HIKE THE 46 HIGH PEAKS?
