Napanda - Climbing

Sometimes you gotta take the bad with the good... or is it the good with the bad?  I'm not sure how the saying goes but it seems that when things really start to roll another challenge or two sneak in there to keep things real.

I read a great book the other day called The Alchemist - it talks of this young man who had taken a chance and chose a profession that was against the grain.  He was very successful at this chosen profession but was soon challenged to explore, take a risk, and reach for something bigger - even though he didn't know what it was.

Each decision may bring new risk but also brings reward. Climbers are always reaching for the big, unknown, reward that is just one more step away.  The secret is that the true reward is the journey and you only figure that out when you "Get there".

Go out, make decisions, take on risk, and reach for what others think is unreachable! The best compliment I have ever heard directed at me was simply, "You're not supposed to do that because..."

The last post on this blog was June 2010... um yeah, a lot has changed since then.

Napanda- means to climb... and that is how I define life.  We always move forward, not every step is perfect and sometimes you even fall a bit ... just stop, get your balance and keep on climbing.

This blog is dedicated to all the climbers out there -
