39. WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL!!
The entire journey, honestly isn’t a big deal! Great people have
achieved far higher goals in terms of summits.
However, for me, it happened to be a big deal! In simple terms, it
changed my course of thinking, not only about life (spiritually)
but also about my profession and my process.
A certain sense of calmness prevailed, and the realisation that our
body and mind if works in harmony, especially in an extreme
environment, can surprise ourselves.
The mountains enveloped me, to become one of theirs!
