What if you were able to accomplish your biggest goals? What
if your most grandiose ambitions were achieved? What if your wildest dreams
became a reality?
And what if you made it to the top of that “mountain,” only
to realize everything and everyone who truly mattered in your life was left
behind somewhere along the way up? Unfortunately, this is not a hypothetical
experience for many seemingly successful individuals. They make it to the
summit, only to find themselves alone and unfulfilled because they never really
took the time to discern what was most important.
The “mountain top” experience is most precious when it is
shared with loved ones and those most precious in your life. Otherwise, it is
just you standing by yourself, bracing against the cold winds of loneliness and
emptiness. Ambition is important, but it must be measured and controlled, or
you may find yourself sacrificing the irreplaceable for the irrelevant.
Never risk what you cannot afford to lose to gain what you
need not achieve.
“On your way to the top you will do anything, but how do you
get your life back when you get there?” – Clifford Harris Jr.
