Hit the road Jack!

You might say where am I heading with this phrase! More often
than not, on a long challenging endurance climb, the mental and
emotional strain on the body can be tougher to work through than
the physical pains of the body! As the climb wears on, one
seemingling endless day into another, firstly the mind can start
to play games and question the strength of the climber and the
ability to achieve the set goal. This can lead toemotional
feelings rising and the clifberc start to leave themountain
mentally and emotionally to a place far more relaxing and to
memories prior to embarking on thclimb. ? Thous and feelings if
left unchecked can really sap a climbers energys and more often
than not they are worse than the physical achie to the body. At
this point, one has to dig deep within the spirit and find that
extra strength and say Lets hit the road Jack, cause we ain't
going back no more, no more! Thous allowed to settle and multiple
and grow, will cripple a climber. The goal is in front and the
memories are behind, if the climber keeps looking back can't stay
focussed, before long he will end up dazed and confused and this
could lead to one biting the dust!
I have gone through ? experiences in my mountain climb I am
currently on and the head starts to play games and say, You can't
make it, it's to hard and then the memories from the past climb
on board and join in the party and I look back at whatwas and all
the feelings that come with that! At this pointanother mountain
climber has seen where I am at andchallenged me to push through
that mental barrier and dig deep within and told me to hit the
road Jack and don't you come back here no more, no more! There
are a few times I could have ended up crippled on the mountain
and left dazed and confused. I can't make new ground and achieve
if I continue to allow myself to live in the past and let my head
rule over my heart! I find at times there is a need to kick
myself into gear and strive for better and great things!X says in
the book of Hebrews in the Bible; "Since we have such a great
crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstand, let us
strip away ? things that would hold us back and slow us down and
especially ? sins that hold so tightly around our feet and cause
us to trip up and run with paitence the particular race set
before us"What is this saying, there are many that have gone on
before us and are now watching us and cheering us on as we climb,
so throw ? thous and feelings to the side and dig deep, keep
focusedand hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no
more! In the next verse it says; "Looking to Jesus, our leader
and instructor"We need to draw strength from our leader and
instructor and another verse in Hebrews says; "Iesus our great
High Priest, who has gone back to heaven to help us, never stop
trusting Him, this great High Priest of our understands our every
weakness and has been tempted in all ways as we are but never
once gave way and sinned" He is there for us big time andknows
and understands and is there to help us when we face ? very
challenging moments, so don't look back and become dazed and
confused, strive for higher ground and themountain summit!
