About This Quote

The heights charm us, but the steps do not; with the mountain in our view we love to walk the plains. We are hurtling through space, hurtling through life, hurtling towards the unknown. Life is scary and uncertain. It has its ups and downs.

When we feel like we are falling or on the verge of despair, it is comforting to know that you are not alone in your experience. While some others might be sitting on their couches watching Netflix, you are walking on a road that leads straight into the unknown. Even though you are walking through the plains, you would still have mountains in your view.

The reason why people love to walk through the plains is because they see them as being safe. They are not afraid of falling down the mountain because they know that there is a path leading up to it. Many people choose to ignore this path because it leads only towards more uncertainty.

However, there is no greater glory than rising every time you fall.
