Hiking mountains is such a great parallel to how life goes. Climbing mountains always requires times when forwards is not the best option or only option. Sometimes backwards is the way to go.
Struggles, setbacks, hurdles, and challenges that cause us to take steps back do more than we think. They provide us with a new opportunity and even a new vision. We stare at problems all the time and that causes us to have blinders on and limit our ability to see.
When we step back we create new perspective. We create a whole new vision because we can now see things that were not in our area of sight. Taking steps backwards allows us to look for new opportunities and maybe provide us with an entirely different path up the mountain.
We encourage you to think about this as you experience your next struggle. If you are in one now, take a step back and look for opportunities where you might be able to shift your perspective.
