Paige, five the ascent redefining success
Paige, five the ascent redefining success. Life is like mountain climbing. Fulfillment is achieved by relentless dedication to the ascent, sometimes slow, painfully, painful step, by slow painful step.
— from The Flight Plan (Purpose/Wisdom/Risk) · Adversity Quotient, Turning Obstacles into Opportunities by Paul G. Stoltz
In the book
It is found along the journey, not at the goal. Life is like climbing a mountain: the meaning is not in the single moment at the summit but in the whole long ascent. So focus on the journey, not only the arrival. — The Flight Plan (Purpose/Wisdom/Risk)
A life of safe, guaranteed outcomes is not really a life. Picture it as a mountain ascent: the fulfillment is in the relentless dedication to the climb, sometimes slow and painful, step by step — not merely in the moment at the top. And the bar is worth setting high: at the things that truly matter to you, the aim is not merely to be good but to be great. — Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
