the peak...



"Whatever you go through in life, there's a reason. You have to climb. You have to struggle. You have to hurt. You have to feel the pain. Because when you reach that moment when you reach the peak, you will feel it and you'll know you've just hit the peak."

Greatness...

Look at where you are now and look at where you want to be... Don't look at the distance. Don't look at the time. Don't look at the obstacles. Just make a decision...  And tell yourself... "As I am... I want to be there..." And just as when you have reached your destination, try looking back on your past. For sure, you won't regret that you endured pain... You won't regret facing the hardships that you had met... The only thing that will be bothersome is perhaps the thought that there might have been a slight chance that you have not worked the hardest possible, of not having gone the most strenuous path to the accomplishment of your goal, of not having made the most out of the chances that life has offered you...

on the evening of that same day, with a heavy wounded heart I set out on a stroll. the sky has cleared since then and all that I can see is the wide expanse of the celestial sky filled with a multitude of stars, the pain within could not conceal the grief that extends to the very soul... as I made my way towards a cliff beside the sea, tears flowed out of my eyes obscuring the dimly lit path I looked up once again. I'm sure that the fire which burned within him has come to light a distant star. That star might not shed its light for me now but as heroes rise and fall, on my ascent, my great master will illuminate a path for me... in the coldness of the night, he will grant me warmth... In times when the road gets blurry, he will carve a route for me to walk on. I lit a torch then offered a prayer. "Master, may the heavens guide me for I don't know what to make of all the things that transpired. May all the stars align to show me what my destiny beckons. Bituun, hea...
