There’s a story about a tourist who paused for a rest in a small town at the foot of the mountains. He went over to a man sitting on a bench in front of the only store in town and asked, “Friend, can you tell me something this town is noted for?”
“Well,” replied the old man, “I don’t rightly know except it’s the starting point to the world. You can start here and go anywhere you want.”
The same is true for you and me.
Obviously, very few people start at the top of the mountain, but all the growth is on the way up.
Will it always be easy? No, but we all have this one thing in common: If we are willing to pay the price, we can start and go anywhere we want to.
