Mountain of experience
+++++++++++++++++++
You stand today at the top of a mountain. It is the mountain of your own experience.
Through the years, you have forged ahead on its craggy pathways. Each day you’ve added valuable experience to your life and have climbed to an even higher perspective than the day before.
Along the way, you have found moments of peace and beauty in the green valleys and still forests. At other times, you have been challenged by the fierce storms and rocky ground as you made your way forward.
This is the moment that all the other moments have been leading up to. Now you stand at the summit on your mountain of experience, and the view is more expansive than it has ever been.
Never has your experience been as extensive or as valuable as it is right now. So what will you do with it all?
Now that you’ve climbed to the highest peak ever, choose to live a full and positive life, worthy of all you’ve already been through. Now that you’ve climbed so high, this is your moment to go even higher.

Matthew 11:7-15
“And as these were going away, Jesus began to speak to the multitudes about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ palaces. But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one who is more than a prophet.”
“This is the one about whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare your way before you.’ Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.”
“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force. For all the prophets and the Law prophesied until John. And if you care to accept it, he himself is Elijah, who was to come. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” Matthew 11:7-15 (NAS)
Psalm 65:9-13
“Thou dost visit the earth, and cause it to overflow; Thou dost greatly enrich it; the stream of God is full of water; Thou dost prepare their grain, for thus Thou dost prepare the earth.”
“Thou dost water its furrows abundantly; Thou dost settle its ridges; Thou dost soften it with showers; Thou dost bless its growth.”
“Thou hast crowned the year with Thy bounty, and Thy paths drip with fatness. The pastures of the wilderness drip, and the hills gird themselves with rejoicing.”
“The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are covered with grain; they shout for joy, yes, they sing.” Psalm 65:9-13 (NAS)
