Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all happiness and growth occur while you’re climbing it. (Andy Rooney, late television social commentator) 

Anticipation is often more gratifying than the realization of a dream, and the effort to achieve the dream may bring greater satisfaction than completing the goal. 

Whatever the goal or however difficult the climb, help is available.

I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:1-2)
