Climbing reminds me I am capable of being motivated.

it reminds me I am strong

I am capable

I am clever

tenacious,

and can solve physically demanding puzzles if I just keep at it.

don't come down, just keep trying

do it till you figure out

how it must be done

then try it again and again,

and little by little, eventually

one of those times, you'll get it

because damn! you tried and succeeded!

I LOVE to climb.

I LOVE that hiking makes me sweat and stuggle

breath hard

feel like dying

and that when it's so hard,

theres a goal ahead

a great reward, and possiblity

on the horizon
