Everest summit is a challenging expedition for anyone and under any known standards, it's not only dangerous, but also financially, mentally, and physically very demanding process. Everyone can't dream of attempting this adventure, one needs proper training and expertise to try this, and even after this, there is no guarantee of success. This post is not about know-how about how to climb Everest successfully, but it is about the fact that we all face some challenges in our lives that are as difficult and challenging for us individually. Sometimes these challenges are so tough that metaphorically we can compare them with the Everest summit.
Is this comparison fair? I think it is. Everyone has their own Everest to climb. It doesn't have to be the actual Mount Everest for everyone, for many of us, there could be challenges that are as difficult as climbing the actual Mount Everest. I call this our personal Everest challenge. For someone, it could be learning how to speak English. or someone, it could be how to drive. For someone, it could be to switch professions or change jobs. For someone, it could be to fight discrimination or some other social challenge. Depending on the stage of our life and our individual characteristics and circumstances things can be incredibly challenging to achieve. My advice is, to find your own Everest and try to conquer it. It will take a lot of training, hard work, determination, and persistence, success may not be guaranteed, but that rewarding journey is worth all the effort. If you manage to finish the task, don't forget to celebrate the achievement, and cherish the success. It is important to enjoy the journey as well as celebrate achievements. We often undermine our own struggles and triumphs. Not everyone wins the Olympic Gold, no doubt, that's a great achievement, but so is overcoming some individual hardship and conquering something that was considered unachievable for us. Also, remember that each individual's Everest is different. Someone can speak English or Spanish easily doesn't mean it's easy for everyone. For someone it could be a dream of their life to master that language, for them, that's their Everest, the ultimate goal to achieve. For someone, it might be how to drive, for someone it might be how to fight against some disability. Find your challenge and pursue it, give it your blood, sweat, and tears, and then see how it feels when you achieve it. All the very best with your personal Everest challenge.
