I have to admit I am not a big fan of Miley Cyrus but she has this song out right now that made me stop and listen.\u00c2\u00a0 It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Climb\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s about dreams, people who sometime get in the way or make negative comments, struggles people go through, etc. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Her last words in the song are\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

keep on movin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

keep on climbin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

keep the faith babe<\/span><\/p>\n

it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all about the climb<\/span><\/p>\n

keep the faith<\/span><\/p>\n

keep your faith<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

It reminds me of the childhood story \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The Little Engine That Could.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d That story has probably stuck in our minds for many reasons.\u00c2\u00a0 When someone asks me – particularly in physical therapy – if I can do something I often respond with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I think I can, I think I can.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout our lives each of us is climbing somewhere as we try to reach our goals, live in our families and neighborhoods, be friends with those we care about, etc.\u00c2\u00a0 We all have things we hope to accomplish.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

My biggest one right now – of course – is to recover from leukemia. I am grateful for each good day that I have as I climb toward that goal. There are also other things I am reaching for each day and there are many people along the way that help me climb toward those goals and encourage me.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

So where are you climbing to? \u00c2\u00a0 Do you have goals?\u00c2\u00a0 Do you have dreams? \u00c2\u00a0What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s holding you back from striving to be who you want to be or are called to be?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

My wish for you today<\/strong> is that you keep keep on climbing and keep the faith.\u00c2\u00a0 Though it may change along the way, having hopes, dreams and goals make life exciting and certainly worthwhile.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
