Yes, Grouse Grind is still closed. But there’s always the way around. At least I was shown one. So on the early Thursday morning I set for a hike up the Grouse Grind – a journey of torture, to be honest with you…After the first quarter I’m ready to turn around and go home…
Despite all the thoughts encouraging me to give up, I was climbing up and contemplating about commitment, success, goal achievements, etc. And here’s the realization I came to -
there’s only way to get to the top – leave no other options for yourself. Make a choice and commit to it.
One step at a time. Slower or faster. Take stops or move forward with no breaks. Do not worry if you cannot catch up with your friend. Do not worry someone passes you by. Set your own pace and keep going. Imagine being at the top. Brace the pain and push through. There’s nothing sweeter than a taste of the conquest of your mountain.
