Climbing the Summit of Life - A Never Ending Journey

Unless you are moving forward in life, you are probably sliding backwards....even if you consider yourself a success.
Now don't get me wrong. It is important that you are grateful for what you have and what you achieved. It is also imperative that 156-816.61 practice test you acknowledge and celebrate your successes. But understand that personal development never stops. When you reach a position that is good enough, you may become comfortable and think that it's no longer worth fighting for the best. That's why good can be the worst enemy of best: it makes you stop before you achieve your fullest potential.
If you feel that you have achieved a goal and reached an acceptable level of life style or development, the temptation is to sit back and let go of your proactive endeavors. In this sense the feeling that you are doing good enough in life can lead you at a tangent from seeking excellence.
It is very easy to fall back if you are not progressing. Stagnation leads to alienation - from your inner self and from the brilliance you can achieve. Although stability in life is required for the sake of providing a safe haven for routine responsibilities such as parenting it is important that we as persons continue to sharpen the saw, and develop ourselves as persons.
When you stop changing and you settle down to a routine life that stunts further personal growth the chances are that you will revert backwards rather than 156-915.70 practice test forwards. There is no such thing as status quo. When mediocre routine settles in, there is always a decline.
The forces of nature abhor a vacuum and unless there is action and progress there can only be regressive decline. If you look at history, the powers who ruled the world always started to collapse as soon as they diminished their resourcefulness. Ancient Rome, Egypt and Greece are classic examples.
And so it is with us humans. The moment we stop and sit on our laurels there is a great tendency that we will either revert to past behavior or else we will stop growing as persons.
It is important that as soon as you find yourself about to reach a goal, you need to start designing a new set of goals for the future. Otherwise you will experience what's called the outrunning of your Dream. It sometimes happens that people who achieve a life time goal suddenly get what I call the 'post Tabor experience' where they fall back to earth with a great bump and suddenly realize that their meaning for life is lost.
It does not matter if you are young or very senior in your age. If you are eighteen or if you are eighty you still need goals to drive you forward. It all depends on your 'joie de vivre' and the decisions you take along the way.
Two women turn 70 years old:
One writes out her will and prepares to wait for death
The other woman named Hulda Crookes decides that mountain climbing might be a good sport to start at an elderly age. She makes 23 successful climbs to the top of 14,495-foot DC0-261 Mount Whitney. In 1987, at age 91 she also makes one ascent up the 12,388-foot Mount Fuji in Japan and become the oldest woman to ascend it.

So the question is:
Are you ready to write your Will and crawl in a hole..... or will you plan the next big summit to ascent?
