Mind wants to protect you, it will try to run in opposite direction. To save you from the physical and the mental pain of giving up. It will prefer, I could have but never tried . But, if you block it and keep going. New paths will open up. New belief system will develop.When you reach the peak, you will be surprised. I did it. You will reflect, I had my moments of doubt but I did it. This is far beyond my physical capacity, this was my initial thought. I was wrong. The good kind of wrong, the kind which puts a wry smile on your face.

You can do more than the limit you set for yourself 

Stop, take a deep breath and look back. Soak in where you are, plan again where you want to go. Look at the last once unsurmountable point on the mountain, now seems like a distant victory. Then look around, soak in where you have reached and then look at the next unsurmountable peak and remind yourself, you will conquer it.

Don’t be blinded by your goals 

How far to the top? “You will reach by evening.”, it was only 10.30a.m. 🤨“Some said 5–6 , some said by 4–5” .Then some one says 2–3 and some one finally said “1.30, you guys are making quick time.”The small note of encouragement put a spring to our feet. Suddenly, the air felt colder, the good kind and the mood uplifted. The jolly tune started humming in the head.

Different people have different opinions, find yours

One step at a time, take immediate action not overwhelmed by large goals.The mountain on the whole looks daunting. But when you think I will take 10 steps and see. And then you take 10 steps. When the 10 steps will tough, you say let’s take one step and see. And we literally did this, as we reached top steep parts of trek we took 2 steps and stopped, then other two steps. But we kept going.

Big Goals, small actions 

The insurmountable mountain top in picture, few steep climbs and heavy breaths later. May be we should do this tomorrow, we did start late as the hotel owner said. There is a mid way cafe, we can chill there and go down and tomorrow get a fresh start.Is it this or we are already giving up or the Inner procrastinator banks on the fact we have tomorrow to do this.Listen to the frail sound, Keep going.

Be the hero, you seek
