Wednesday’s Words of Wisdom with Becky #2

Here’s another great quote from Andy Andrew’s The Noticer. In case you missed last week’s words of wisdom post, we are big fans of this author and his wise and interesting character, Jones. His new book, Just Jones, will be coming out September 8, and you can pre-order your copy here.

“Everybody wants to be on the mountaintop, but if you’ll remember, mountaintops are rocky and cold. There is no growth on the top of a mountain. Sure, the view is great, but what’s a view for? A view just gives us a glimpse of our next destination–our next target. But to hit that target, we must come off the mountain, go through the valley, and begin to climb the next slope. It is in the valley that we slog through the lush grass and rich soil, learning and becoming what enables us to summit life’s next peak.”
