This week, I am on a 60 mile backpacking trip with my three sons and several other young men. We will ascend Mt. San Gorgonio, the highest point in Southern California. The purposes of this high adventure trip are many, but mainly we are here to challenge ourselves and to renew our love for the great outdoors.
For some members in our little group, this will be the most difficult experience they have ever faced. For others, it will be a welcome relief from the pressure they face on a daily basis. For me, it will be my first experience as the oldest person in the group. I don't feel it, but I know my time to stand on the top is ebbing, so I will enjoy every moment as we ascend to wonderful heights.
We will all see something different when we stand on this high point. That is one of the greatest things about life – despite the face that we share each day with each other, our experience is always individual.
I am thankful for the high points in my life. There have been many, and each one brought different meaning and purpose to my tiny / grand existence. That is why I am constantly reaching for new heights. I need to stretch and be stretched so that I can become my best.
What are the high points of your life?
What lessons did you learn from standing on the top?
When was the last time you reached for a new peak experience?
I will think of you when I am on the top of Southern California. I will express my thanks for your support and my desire for you to become your best. Please do the same for me!
Live Today! Love Today!
