Everybody wants to reach the top of the mountain, but there is no growth at the peak. It is in the valley that we slog through the lush grass and rich soil, learning and becoming what enables us to summit life's next peak.
Everyone has a worst time in their life. There's always a worse time. We are all either in a crisis, coming to one or coming out of one.
