Climbing
It's a struggle to be a working woman. And who isn't a working woman? Every woman I know works 24-7 (with the exception of a few 80-year-old women)!
A woman works hard to achieve the standard that's expected of her. She doesn't allow herself to relax lest she falls behind or - her greatest fear - fall apart. So she continually plans ahead, checking her to-do list. She's like a mountain climber who looks up at how far she has to go, not daring to look down at how far she's come.
Climbing can indeed hone one's muscles and sharpen one's wit. But what happens if you focus only on your next step? Pretty soon, those steps get slower and your burden becomes heavier, until you can't move anymore.
Look around. Breathe. Don't miss the pleasure of the climb.
