Do you have a dream everyone thinks is crazy, but you know in your heart it is wonderful? Maybe it’s something you even feel called to do by God himself. Welcome, friend. Don’t let your critics get you down, even the ones in your own head. You have great things you can do. Keep at it. Keep up the good fight. And before you know it, you will have accomplished great things.
This is my big mountain
And I’m climbing to the top.
You can watch me from the sidelines
But you just can’t make me stop.
Every day you may feast upon
My blood and sweat and tears.
It may even be a feast you have
For many years and years.
You can use your words to throw at me
And they just might make me trip
But in the end the best they’ll do
Is make me tighten up my grip.
For this is something I must do
Before my life is through
And from your seat down there below
You can’t simply see the view.
Many men are called to do
The work I must pursue
But few will ever have the strength
And courage that I do.
Instead of being my critic
Why not choose to be my friend?
And you can climb up your own mountain –
Together we’ll be triumphant in the end.
But if your fear will always be
Seeped down deep within your bones,
And the best that you will ever do
Is throw a bunch of stones,
Then right now I make a promise –
With all the stones that I accrue
When I reach the top of this big mountain
I’ll build a statue just for you.
