Grow into your Dream:

Sir Edmund Hillary was the first man to climb Mount Everest. On May 29/1953 he scaled the highest mountain then known to man 29,000 feet straight up. The world lauded him. England knighted him for his achievement.
However, it's little known that Hillary had to grow into this success. You see, in 1952 he attempted to climb Everest, but failed. A few weeks later a group in England asked him to address its members.
Hillary walked on stage to a thunderous applause. The audience was recognizing an attempt at greatness, but Edmund Hillary saw himself as a failure. He moved away from the microphone and walked to the edge of the platform. He shook his fist at a picture of the mountain, and yelled, "Mountain Everst, you beat me the first time, but I'll beat you the next time because you've grown all you are going to grow… but I'm still growing!"
Dreams you fail to reach can be conquered later through personal growth. When you first make your attempts you may have made inadequate plans. You may have lacked some skills. You may have partnered with the wrong people. You may have offered an inferior product.
Whatever the reason for initial failure, you can amend our self and try again. If you desire a thing with enough passion, you can achieve it in spite of multiple failed attempts.
You may need to read more on the subject, take some classes, consult an expert, ask for feedback from trusted associates, or you may need to work a little harder.
See, you can grow. You aren't stuck with your current weaknesses. You can chip away at these weaknesses. You can learn new skills. And with growth, you can conquer your personal Everest.
Sir Edmund Hillary is known as the conqueror of one of the greatest achievements in history. Yet, he had to grow into his success.
For what great achievement will you be known?
You can grow into it…
