'The Climb'

I'm not a big fan of Miley Cyrus and I don't really know any of her music, but when I heard the song 'The Climb' on the radio the other day, I knew it from the commercials for her movie. As I listened to the lyrics I recognized that I sometimes tend to live my life wishing away mountains and wanting to just get through the hard times as quickly as possible and get to the good parts. The thing I recognized as I listened to this song is that the good times are during the hard parts as well as the easy times. I really like this song because it's all about enjoying the climb, the journey of going through life. And since I heard this song after Conference, it made me realize even more that I need to stop wishing for things to be different and waiting for things to be perfect to be happy. I need to be thankful everyday for what I have, to enjoy the relationships I have with my friends and family, and just enjoy life as it is. If you haven't heard this song, I recommend listening to it. It's at the bottom of my playlist or you can listen to it here. I'm just grateful for moments in life when I remember what's really important and remember how blessed my life is.

Thanks for sharing that song. I hadn't heard it before but it does have a great message. The thing I have learned about each climb is that that is when you learn and grow the most in life and even though it is tough it is definitely worth it when you get to the top. And with each climb you learn how to better handle the next mountain in life.

I love your thoughts. And I also think it is hard to not always think about how much better life will be when (insert anything here). Thanks for the reminder to just enjoy what is happening now.

There will always be difficult times as well as easy times. What is most important is enjoying the journey and appreciating every experience.
