Today I challenge you to ask yourself the question: have I reached the summit yet? 

How do you know, that you’ve reached the top?

How do you know, that you have fulfilled your own destiny?

How do you know, that which you are pursuing with such fervour is worth fighting for?

What clues do you get that enough is enough and that you can take a break and rest?

The image I propose today is the Sagrada Familia – a temple to faith, that is yet to be completed.

It started with an idea. It started with a concept. Though the person who conceived the idea in the first place is long gone, that thought continues in the world today.

Multiple generations have fought hard to make it work.

It took years of hard work from concept to reality and yet this temple to faith will never be completed, for as all buildings must, this too will need to be kept up to date.

This too will need repairs, this too will go through improvements, this too will be an unfinished piece of work

I then ask you again: When do you know you reached the summit? When do you know that what you are building will have a purpose?

When do you know that it is time to rest and enjoy the fruits of your labour?

The person who initially thought of building, a church for the people in Barcelona is no more.

The person who created the original concept for the building is no more.

The person who eventually created the blue prints, ended up in an accident on the street and because he looked like a vagrant, passers-by did not recognise he was the architect of this place.

When the members of his community could have jump to his aid; they just passed him by. It is by chance his co-worker recognised him and got the help he needed, but it was too late.

So once again, I challenge you to contemplate where you are now in your life? I challenge you to meditate on this question…when will I know I reached the summit?!

Pick up the imaginary pen, and start jotting down the answers, and then look within and ask yourself, am I pleased with what I have done so far?

Am I proud that I have made it this far?

Am I proud that despite all that is taking place around me, I have arrived?

And when you realise that you have already climbed the biggest mountain so far, you can take a breath and enjoy the view.

Each day a new challenge comes our way, and each day we rise to it, so go forth and enjoy that view. Be free.

Journal your thoughts.
