# Chapter 60

Big rocks, small rocks and mountains. Of course we want to move mountains and change the face of the world we live in and those are no small things to be a changin’. But no one can just pick up the mountain. Mountains by their very nature can only be moved by nature and only then when cataclysmic events occur. No we need daily mountain moving and that requires process and small and smaller rocks. We all have mountains that need moving whether that be addictions, job changes, new responsibilities, aging, sickness, injuries, loss, or my never-ending leaking roof. Mountains are always there and always too big to move instantly.

But move them we must. They need to be disassembled so to speak. Think big rocks and smaller rocks and then yet smaller rocks. The young bucks in my life want all big rocks because they are strong and impatient and it seems the quickest way to move the mountain. But I am neither strong nor impatient and smaller rocks seems to be the slow steady way to move the mountain. I am sure there is a scale here and you can land wherever you want and do it however you like, but once you start to break down the mountain into rocks of any size and move them to where you want them to be, then you have started moving your mountain.

Hopefully this metaphor for the challenges and tasks you face, has helped you understand that you can and will move these mountains in your life. It is the very most necessary part of forward progress. Lets move this thing!
