be yourself

be yourself

You don't need to climb Mount Everest to be successful.
Any five thousand foot summit will do.
The sky's the same.
Clouds and vistas, crisp clean air and a chance to think.
Want to try something higher? Go for it; now or latter.
Live in a lonesome valley in the meantime if there's where you are at.
Just be yourself; remember your first five thousand steps and rejoice for those who reach at Everest.
