Conquered Mount Tahan or Myself?
A friend of mine asked me what will be the difference this time around? I replied – perhaps I know what it takes to climb a mountain.
I knew I have to do it now. There’s no other perfect time to climb a mountain than now. I’m not getting any younger and if not now then when? So, decision has been made and all of us packed our stuff and ready to go.
I was totally wrong. I underestimate Mount Tahan. The journey was extremely hard. Hard work all the way up and down.
On the third night, setelah sampai ke puncak, saya terbangun beberapa kali di tengah malam, mengurut kaki yang sakit dan kebas. Sambil mengurut kaki, saya melihat kepada rakan-rakan saya yg tidur. Bukanlah nampak sangat, sebab gelap. Saya terfikir. Each one of us has our own dream. Each one of us is hoping for good things in life. We are all the same. We have our own issue to handle. Be it wanting to be good father, husband, son, daughter, friend, partner or leader. We all struggling. But knowing that we have each other back to hold on makes the journey worthwhile.
For me, this journey is not about who’s the fastest, who the number one is or who’s the toughest. I’m not climbing the mountain to show off that I’m super women or G.I.Jane. Nope.
One thing for sure… It feels good to be back home. I’m grateful for all the things that I have.Thank you God. For Gunung Tahan team - thank you, I appreciate you truly!. I reached the summit because of all of you :D
In life, we have our own check point (as for this mountain, we have 9 check point). We stop, look, think and choose. We repeat the same process until we reached our milestone. We may success or we may lose. We change. We adapt. We start all over again. We have to constantly come up with new ways to fix our self. Or else we get the same result. We create new version of our self. We just need to be sure that this one was the improvement over the last.
Along the way to the check point, we must always be thankful and blessed for the people around us. We shared the moments, we shared the journey... with all sort of emotions - be it happiness, joy, anger, fear, pain, frustration and disappointment. Good or bad, they make a difference to our life. They are the one that beside us throughout the journey. That count. That matters.
Quote from Meredith Grey that I think somehow make sense:
“Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know; maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.”
Each one of us would definitely bring back their own story.
These are mine :)
