…life Isn’t A Puzzle To Be Solved. It’s An Adventure To Be Savored. Let Every Challenge Be A New Mountain To Climb, Not An Obstacle To Get In Your Way And Stop You. Yeah, It’ll Be Hard, But Once You Reach The Summit Of It, You’ll Be Able To See The World For What It Really Is. And At The Top, It Never Seems To Have Been As Difficult A Feat To Climb There As You First Made It Out To Be. Most Of All, You’ll Know That You Beat That Mountain, And That You Rule It. It Does Not Rule You.
