Why Our Path is More Like a Mountain Trail than a Highway
Expanding beyond your current idea of your journey here
Life doesn’t grant us the luxury of a clear, straightforward path like a well-paved road where destinations are predictable and the route is direct.
It’s a vibrant, and sometimes challenging, hike through varied terrains.
The Starting Point
Everyone has to start somewhere. Much like the base of a mountain, it’s the point where we feel the weight of the journey ahead. The highway seems tempting, with its promise of a straight route.
But life isn’t built as a straight line. It has its twists and turns, much like the winding trails of a mountain.
And to be honest, wouldn’t it get boring over time, if you just had that simple straight line progress?
Highways are designed to be flat and direct. Mountain trails, on the other hand, have their ups and downs. Sometimes, you’re climbing steeply, pushing yourself to the limits.
Other times, you’re moving downhill, feeling the world rush by with ease. This is life. There are moments where everything feels like an uphill battle, and others when everything seems to click into place.
Linear vs. Non-Linear Growth:
