  Ten Years Later, I Got a Little Further 

Ten years ago I attempted Angels Landing, made it through Walter's Wiggles, got scared, and turned around telling myself maybe next time. 

Recently I went back, and the same fear showed up right on schedule, I felt it in my body, that same voice in my head telling me this is far enough, but this time I pushed a few steps past that second set of chains, further than I'd ever gotten before. 

My goal wasn't to make it to the top, my goal was to go further than I did last time, and I'm happy to say I accomplished exactly that. 

If I would have hired a coach to help me through it I bet I would have made it all the way, but instead I winged it, and looking back, I guess I didn't really want to get to the top badly enough to bring in the help that would have gotten me there. 

Every year we should be pushing a little farther than we did the year before, not perfect, just further than last time, and if you don't make it all the way that's fine, you go back, you try again, and you push a few more steps past where you stopped before.

You don't have to make it all the way, you just have to go a little further than you did last time.
