Stepping stones

[bri_kitty]

I started working at a petshop. I have worked two years as a veterinary assistant. I dabbled with a travelling petting zoo, have completed a wildlife rehabilitation internship, cared for dogs at the Berkeley East Bay Humane Society, raised rats for eight years and am now volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center in Kent, WA

You have specific goals in your life that you are acting to accomplish. Most people get stuck at a position because it pays the bills and they are trapped in some way. You are exceeding that limit and doing a thing to pursue your own happiness better than most others.

I wish I had such motivation and ambition. You do know what you want even if it is at the top of a mountain.

There are many paths up a mountain, and there are no maps to find them. It is luck when our paths are easy or clear, but more often there is work. Some paths have more steps than others, some have harder ones or sheer cliffs to climb. Eventually though, if you keep heading up, you will find yourself atop the mountain, and for every step you took you will find joy in seeing your path below.

Atop the mountain you are the envy of the wanderers of the valley and plains below. Climbing up it, you are seen with envy, not for where you are, but where you are going to be. They are blind to not see it as inspiration, to find their mountain and see the wide world for themselves and treasure that they have done something.

It might be tough, it might have many steps and be confusing, but be surefooted as a mountain goat, never fall nor back down from the challenge, but go only forward and up!

Be surefooted as a mountain goat? Yes, wise sensei.
