The Climb

Today is a day like any other day. That is when it comes to cleaning up around my home. I put on some music and listen as I am cleaning. Today I was listening to a song by Miley Cyrus entitled the climb. The words to this song are an inspiration to me and pertain to this journey I am on as well as so many others. The words are as follows;

 I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going


And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa.


It is the climb we are all on no matter what journey we are taking in life. It doesn't matter if it is a journey of weight loss, being a parent, being an honest working member of society, being a good friend, or standing alone in the world for our beliefs and morals. It doesn't matter what is on the other side it is how we take the climb and the differences we make along the way.

Today like any other day is a struggle with making good choices not only with the food I eat, but how I will take care of my family and the world around me. What difference will you make on your climb?
