The Kilimanjaro Journey: An Opportunity to Explore the Inner Self – PART 2

Suggestions to help you get the most out of this unique ‘journey’:

1. Allow your inner self to be present, to shine through the facades you may be wearing so that what you put into the challenge, rewards you in many ways that are irrelevant to others.
2. When you feel/think it is too much and want to give up the challenge, stop feeling sorry for yourself and think of someone you know who has had to overcome real life challenges, and convince yourself that in the same circumstances, you too could overcome the same challenges.
3. Remember that within all of us lies a hidden ‘us’, one that has been made to be different because of external influences and this is an opportunity to allow that inner ‘us’ to live and breath as we want that inner ‘us’ to live and breath.
4. We are all worthy of success, we are all worthy of feeling positive about ourselves and we are all worthy of enjoying our ego emotions both internally and externally.
5. There is no failure to taking up any physical or emotional challenge in life, it is what life is all about. It is not what we do in life that matters but how we do it and what we feel about ourselves afterwards that counts.
6. What you feel on the inside is not necessarily the same as what you feel on the outside, and in this respect you can harbor fear, anxiety and pain but have the potential to use your humanity to overcome these feelings if you accept and acknowledge that you are a wonderful exquisite human being and that success or failure is a natural every day human occurrence.
7. When you feel you have reached the ‘end’ and can no longer go on, remember that nothing is more easier than putting one foot in front of the other, ignoring the external world and having at your side, your inner self.
