After all the times that I have been called ‘Hannah Montana’, I have finally discovered a Miley Cyrus song that I like! It’s called “The Climb”. The song has to do with how we chase our dream(s) and the stumbling blocks that can tend to get in our way.
I have felt this way about many things in my life. What I want seems so close, yet it is running faster from me than I can run to it. I have always been a bit of a ‘lets it done and over with’ type of person. I try to figure out ways to get things done, and get them done faster than they should be done. The fact of the matter is that we can just speed through life hoping that the next ‘phase’ will be better than the one that we are currently in. Life is a journey. Nothing will ever be completely perfect, and we should be thankful for every day that we are blessed to live of it. There is a line in the song that says something to the extent of how the parts of life that we struggle through to get to the good parts is what we will remember most. That is so extremely true. I will always remember the times of struggle in my life, that eventually got/will get me to where I wanted to be, or where I want to be.
I think that most of the population at some point in life either has a really high expectation of life or a low expectation of life, heck maybe even both. My goal is to find that middle ground. The place that no matter what happens I’m fine with it, even if it wasn’t part of ‘the plan’. Another part of the song is about how there will always be mountains that we will want to move, but sometimes we just have to face the fact that we are gonna lose the battle with it. Some mountains aren’t meant to be moved out of our lives. Sometimes mountains are there to make us stronger, and to help us realize who we really are. I think of all the times that I have almost settled because a mountain was in my way that I didn’t want to face. I honestly have no clue why I didn’t just let it go and settle, but I haven’t. It semi-scares me about how my life would end up if I would have settled with what I knew I didn’t want, but thought I did because it was the easy way.
I guess the point I am trying to get through is don’t ever settle, give up, or forget about your dreams. I feel like a silly little girl talking about dreams, but lets face it – we all still have them! We all want to be great things in life. We all still have the ‘little kid’ moments where we think about what we want to be “when we grow up”. Don’t let your dreams slip away for any reason!
Lastly, I want to say that I am so very thankful for the people in my life who have loved me thus far in ‘my climb’. I can’t express how much I am thankful for the ones who have been with me during the hardest and the happiest times in my life. The ones who have stuck around even when I wasn’t being the person that I should have been. I am so very thankful for those people. I love you all :).
Okay, well I guess I am done! I am going to end with my favorite quote, which I think goes perfectly with this blog.
"What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what lies within us". - Ralph Waldo Emerson
