It's the climb!

Life has been a bit difficult lately. I feel like I'm fighting myself up a mountain. I get in my own way. I trip over my own feet. My bad habits are keeping me from reaching the top. But tonight as I was driving home from my sister's house, I got some inspiration in the form of a song on the radio. Miley Cyrus's "The Climb". I haven't really cared about Miley Cyrus one way or the other, but as of now, this song is the theme song of my life. I'm including both the music and the lyrics in here.

The Climb lyrics
Songwriters: Alexander, J; Mabe, J;
I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

Life is a marathon, not a sprint, as my boyfriend always tells me. It doesn't matter how long it takes me, what matters is that I hang on, that I do it, and that I climb. It doesn 't matter how many times I slip or fall. What matters is that I get back on my feet and keep on climbing! "[Life]'s all about the climb".
