Conquering Mt. Everest
Read More: By Margi Starr
Most of us are familiar with Mt. Everest, the world’s highest mountain peak, in Katmandu, Nepal. In 2001, two Americans reached the Everest summit. Sherman Bull, a 64-year-old physician from Connecticut, was the oldest climber to ever summit Mt. Everest. The other climber was Erik Weihenmayer, 32 years old, of Golden, Colorado. He was the first blind man to conquer the 29,035-foot peak.
Within each of us, there are obstacles that can seem as challenging as climbing Mt. Everest. Perhaps it is the need for more education to be able to seize that company promotion. Or perhaps it is to develop the relationship skills necessary to get along with the people we work with…or live with.
For many of us, our Mt. Everest is FEAR. Fear can paralyze us from being open to new opportunities of personal growth. As human beings, we resist the process of change. This condition of equilibrium, called homeostasis, is difficult to overcome. Even when we are miserable in a situation, we’ll work hard to keep things the same, simply to avoid change. However, just as a rocket ship can break through the atmospheric barrier, we too, can escape from those things that hold us back. In doing so, we experience tremendous personal and professional growth.
Perhaps it is time to take a thoughtful look at the Mt. Everest’s in your life. No matter if you are old or blind, when your intention is clear, the mechanisms will appear. There are ways to reach the summit no matter how great the obstacles…or the fear. What is holding you back from discovering ALL God has for you?
Are you ready? Let the following ideas get you started up that mountainside:
1. Identify the Abundant Thinkers in your network of relationships. Intentionally build relationships with people, who like you, want to achieve their dreams. Synergy is created when like-minded people put their heads together!
2. Find an Accountability Buddy. This is someone who will hold you accountable to the daily/weekly activities that will cause you to stretch and grow. A good Accountability Buddy will not allow your excuses to derail you from your dreams.
3. Find a Coach or a Mentor. Take advantage of someone who can help you identify Who You Are, What You Want, and your Mt. Everest. A Coach or Mentor can help you devise an Action Plan that will move you out of your comfort zone into the land of possibilities!
It is said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results. Insanity can look a lot of different ways, but it certainly cowering to FEAR, which then keeps us stuck from moving forward. Perhaps it’s time to explore who you are, what you want, and to overcome your Mt. Everest. You are worth it!

The Buddy System Works
You are so right Margi. They use the Buddy System to climb Mt. Everest and that is what we need to climb our Mountain. We can reach that obtainable goal easier,faster and better when we know we have to be accountable to someone.It also helps to let you know someone has your back if you need them.

Great Points!
Margi, this is an OUTSTANDING article! You put a lot of thought into this and I couldn't agree with you more. What I really gathered with this is that we all have FEAR but we can overcome it and take a leap of faith and work everyday towards our goals and dreams. Together with team work we can achieve anything!
Face fear.
Fear is a thief and robs us of the potential we are capable of. Often we build something up in our minds and it seems like a mountain, but in reality when we face it, conquer it and look back, it's then looks like a little mole hill and we wonder why we didn't move sooner. Great article Margi....I really liked it!

Great Post Margi - We each need people who have our back
You're right. It takes two committed people in the buddy system who have each other's backs to climb Everest. We each have our own everest also.
I lead a peer-to-peer buddy system called Peer Success Circles, that pairs committed people together to do just that. If your clients need that service, please let me know here.
