LEARN A LOT AS YOU CLIMB UP A LADDER!
Climbing of a staircase teaches us many lessons. If we stop on any step, we cannot reach to the top. Going back (climbing down) is easier, but will not lead us away from our goal of reaching at the top.
By looking up, we would get inspired to reach there and by looking down we would get confidence/satisfaction of traveling so far.
One step at a time will surely reach us at our goal. A little rest is desirable to recharge ourselves. Going up may be tough, but gives us fresh air/look, long ariel view (better perspective), a sense of achievement and what not.
May God bless us with the wisdom to climb up consciously to internalise varius lessons that it teaches us!
Tathastu! Swasti Siddham! Amen! So Be It!
