LONESTAR Philosophy.

LONESTAR are an American Country Group and their latest song “Mountains”, contains a line that goes, “Walking’s easy when the road is Flat. Them danged ol’ hills will get you every time. Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains. So we could learn how to climb.”

Now I don’t know what you think of that, but my experience has shown that troubles and hardships, although we don’t like them, do separate the wheat from the chaff. Or as Billy Ocean sang, “When the going gets tough the tough get going”.

Is that your experience too? Or are you a “Fair-weather Friend” only, and when the going gets tough, you get gone?

I am not saying that we need to go looking for mountains to climb, just to try ourselves out on or to impress others with our abilities. No What I am saying is if, perhaps better, when, these mountains do appear in our paths, we need to climb them. And we need to persevere. The going may be tough. Progress may be slow, but if we keep going on the highway of life, we will eventually reach our destination and be the stronger for the journey.

If you feel that you are not getting anywhere in your Life journey, it just may be because you are still parked on the roadside, because you pulled up when the going got tough, and have never continued forward. If that is so, Power-out back onto the road of life. No matter how tough or how long the journey may be, the destination is achievable.

So go on and go out and climb those mountains in your Life, but also remember, sometimes the journey will be easier if we have company. So who will you let journey with you? Walter
