The breeze at the mountainside is light and the clouds are thin; some people set up camp here and linger. But those whose ambitions are set on the mountaintop will not become attached to the gentleness found halfway up.
The narrower the mountain path, the quieter it becomes. Fewer companions stay with you as you leave comfort and hesitation behind on the way, climbing upward by stepping on past weakness.
No need to fear solitude and hardship. If your direction is right, every step counts. Keep your gaze fixed on that ray of lucic light at the summit.
