TAKING THE TRAIL TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN “Achieving our goals is not nearly as important as what we become by attaining our goals.” —Thoreau It is very difficult to fulfill One’s true potential— For obstacles grow like thorny Vines to trip us up And dark holes of confusion And despair appear for us To fall into even with The best laid intentions. However, the very difficulty Of the task is the royal Road to greatness, If you refuse to quit— For as you persevere, As you overcome the obstacles, As you get up from having fallen, As you choose to believe in your self And your dream and your worth, When no one else does— Then the foundations of character And inner power are formed And upon this base of strength The greatness of spirit can rise Until one day, through hard work And the grace it attracts We do finally reach the top Of the mountain, achieve our goals And manifest our divine destiny For which we were born— For it is in working through All that comes against us that We tap into the infinite power and Potential of our heart and soul.
