For anyone who has gone hiking in the hills, they will fully appreciate, that when they're in the valley, the task at hand is to ultimately find their way out of the valley and then scale the mountain until they reach the top, the summit of success. However, many do so often get lost in the valley as they search for a path that will lead them ultimately to the top, the highest peak, which is of course the ultimate goal. Now as the title of today's article states it, you must be sure that you don't get lost in the valley as of course getting to the summit is the objective. However, to get to the top one has indeed so very often to go through the valley, or as Joel Osteen put it in another very inspiring talk he gave on television recently, "So often you have to go through it to get to it."
So D. Paul, all of that talk about mountain climbing, going through the valley and hopefully finally reaching the peak, what does this have to do with me and my life? Well my friend, to put it quite simply, we so often in life have to experience down times when everything appears to be going wrong and we thus feel completely lost, in order for us to finally be able to look upwards, to ascend the peak, and thus find a path, a way in which to achieve our goals, which once realized will allow us to finally stand triumphantly at the top as we achieve the success we seek.
In essence, sometimes you have to experience the tough times in order to be able to finally arrive at a much better place, a higher elevation where the air is clear so that we can clearly see our target. So, even when you're walking through the valley, figuratively speaking, you never lose sight of the top of the mountain, what is your ultimate objective. Thousands, no millions, give up whilst still in the valley of failure, thus completely losing sight of the mountain top as it becomes obscured by negative clouds of doubt.
So when in the valley don't get lost, keep your faith intact and persevere as you continue to press forever forward and upward. When you do this, when you don't lose faith, believe me, you will eventually stand tall at the summit of success. Yes you will!
