Trek and find your way to your Life Goals

Finding your way through the rocky serpentine roads, when you finally reach to the top of the cliff you feel an insurmountable strength within you. You are surrounded by an unparalleled joy and confidence. Such is the charisma of a successful trek!

It has not been long since I had my first trekking experience. And always I come back home with a handful of takeaways; observations that are made on-the-go.

Sharing some of the life lessons acquired from my experiences:

Cultivates patience and perseverance

Making your way through the rocky terrain is not a cakewalk. It needs you to persevere and be patient. Walking uphill might seem easier, apparently, till a mighty rock comes your way and you wonder how are you going to overcome the hurdle. The more you wrack your brains and get all the jitters, the tougher it gets for you. You need to hold your horses, ponder a little bit on how to make your move and take the shot of confidence. With your steady steps, you will be able to sail through.

Growing fearless with every step

While you advance to the top, with the rising level of patience, you tend to feel less of fear. Once shaking feet soon gets a grip on the rugged land. You feel more in tune with the nature and less anxious about the path.

Increases the quality of decision making

A clear analogy can be drawn between the many paths that you encounter while trekking, with that of life’s choices. With so many ways to explore, you will always be in a fix to choose the best one that will help you glide through to your end goal.

Builds your focus

If you lose your focus while figuring out your move, you will bound to get stuck. As much as you learn to enjoy your walk, trekking helps in making you to achieve a higher level of concentration to help you reach your end point.

Play smarter to make a right move

Some paths are easy and some are difficult. To reach your endpoint you don’t always need to challenge your comfort zone. You can very well stride down the easier one to save you the time and energy because you never know what will come your way thereafter. You need to save your energy till you are completely burned out.

Take help when needed

Not always you will be able to effortlessly make your way. There will be times when you will get stuck and fall short of strength to move further. Stop, relax and ask for help from your teammates. Asking for help doesn’t make you weaker. It helps you to understand where you are going wrong. It is one heck of a team building activity, if done right.

Makes you invincible

Last but not the least, it makes you realize the power that you have within you. The more you put an edge on it, the more it glows. Sharpening your skills, making you tougher and increasing your endurance both mental and physical.

When you complete the entire trek, you feel on top of the world, a sensation that only trekkers find relatable to. When you are at the pinnacle, you see the whole world through a different lens.

To all the entrepreneurs, leaders, passion cultivators and professionals from all walks of life, I urge you all to trek once for an enriching experience. It is a great stressbuster and adventure sport which will eventually help you in better decision making.
