Shine

Have you ever been through something so difficult and so painful that you can’t even see the light at the end of the tunnel and you don’t even know if you have the strength to get there? And then you finally make it through to the other side and you think:

“Wow, I learned and grew so much and I am so grateful for that experience.”

That’s exactly how I feel when I go hiking. My legs are burning. My lungs are burning. But then I get to the top and the view is amazing. And only the people who endure the pain get to enjoy the view.
