"Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance toward the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. Climb slowly, steadily, enjoying each passing moment; and the view from the summit will serve as a fitting climax for the journey.”
Harold V. Melchert
I couldn’t find much information on our quote author today, other than that he was a writer and poet. Not that it matters, as his quote is a brilliant one and should provide a reminder that we all need from time to time. We should take a moment to reflect and appreciate where we are currently, where we have come from and the amazing achievements made along the way.

Always keep the end goal in mind, but make sure to take a breath and enjoy the scenery from where you are right now…
