Sometimes the excuses we sometimes give ourselves seem to be as big as mountains, but are they really? Usually, something is only as difficult as we allow it to be, and in the same way, something is as easy as we allow it to be.
This applies to letting go of negative thoughts, feelings, emotions or events from the past as well as destructive self talk (I can't... I can't... blah, blah, blah) about our future aims and goals. Most of the mountains we create in our mind aren't mountains at all, they are just molehills that we could easily step over, but we choose to allow them to become massive obstacles.
See if your imaginary mountains are as big after you've read the following written by Sean Swarner.

I'm actually the first (and only) cancer survivor to summit the world's highest mountain...

On the summit of Everest I brought a flag adorned with names of people who have been affected by cancer and left it on the top of the world forever commemorating the struggle of cancer patients worldwide.
I did the same to the highest point in
I am covering the globe with inspiration. There are plans for live chat sessions during the expeditions as well as TV spots and live summit bids from a number of the mountains! The reason for these expeditions is to inspire those affected by cancer (as well as anyone with a pulse!) to dream big and never give up.

Be happy, it really is much easier than you think,
