Life is like climbing a tree. The best way to achieve such a goal is to look straight forward at what you're doing. Look down and you'll be filled with regrets and doubts. Look too far ahead and you'll become overwhelmed with what lies before you still.
Just take it one step at a time.
Of course, there will always be those people who start laughing at you because perhaps your form while climbing this tree isn't quite up to par. They might even go as far as to throw bricks at you, sending you backwards in your journey. Maybe you decide to climb a really smooth tree with few branches, thinking that because this tree looked the nicest, it must be the best choice. Or, maybe you were just thrust at the tree and forced into climbing it. Either way, there isn't much to support you and you're going to slip fast.
You have two choices:
Fall, whether by giving up or by slipping, and plummet to your death.
Or stick with what you've got and endure the potential pain and frustration.
Only the latter of the two will get you to the top, where you can crouch among the shining green leaves so that you can survey a glorious horizon and start to plan your next climb.
You are so deep. I love it. This is so true.
