"Poets and writers have often described life as a journey, and I can think of my own life that way. There have been mountains to climb, but they have led to high plateaus and an occasional peak. I haven't fallen off any cliffs, but there have been a few bruising tumbles down slippery slopes. I have usually been fortunate and traveled quickly, but there were times when I crept along and times when I seemed to lose my way."

Equate your life to the quote above.
