Don’t just stare at it, climb it

Ken Davis gave me some good advice recently. He said that many of us look at the mountain summit, admiring it’s beauty, all the while thinking that one day we’ll climb it. Few ever do. I was telling my dad about a new idea I’ve got brewing. He shared with me this quote.
The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night. - - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 1882)
My dad is pretty smart. It’s funny… he just became smart recently. You see, I was always way smarter growing up. But now I can see that maybe it was the other way around. Anyway, I’m going to take his advice through this quote and toil upward in the night.
