Who do you have to become to climb the mountain?

An actual mountain climber started chatting to me about the mountain-climbing analogy I used in my last blog and gave me this interesting insight: “It’s true that climbing the mountain isn’t just about being on the summit. But it isn’t just about the climb, either. It’s about who you have to become in order to do the climb.”

I think he means that it’s not just about the journey, where you have to be courageous and clever and overcome obstacles; you have to become a courageous, clever, problem-solving person, and that’s the real attraction and value of climbing that mountain.

In my last blog I said,

I have always been very highly sexed. After many years, I finally decided to be more open about it and to date the way I had always dreamed of- even though I wasn’t really sure that was possible. I could visualise how it would look. I had obstacles to overcome. I was afraid! Afraid that if I didn’t get married, I would end up regretting it- but all I really wanted to do with my life was have multiple lovers with whom I could share sensual excitement and fulfilment.

I found a way of doing that by confronting my anxieties and becoming a companion. It was a leap! I was surprised and elated to find that there are other people out there who feel the same way I do. My quest keeps unfolding as I meet more and more of them and now I can honestly say that not only was my goal achievable, it actually paled by comparison to how it feels to be doing it in real life. I look back and realise that following a conventional path would have been more risky to my happiness than taking that first leap into the unknown was.

Who did I have to become to climb my mountain?

I had to become Lilly!

A girl who leaps at opportunity, a planner, a trusting and trustworthy person, someone brave enough to seize the day and make the most out of this one short life we have. If I hadn’t become this person, I would still be stuck in my old anxieties and life would still be passing my by as I watched others do what I wanted to do and silently fantasised about it.

I hope that you too are excited about who you become in order to overcome your obstacles and complete your quest. A man of action, someone with guts, someone clever, someone successful, someone in touch with themselves, someone enjoying all that life has to offer, an explorer, a discoverer of new worlds and life experiences?

I genuinely and from the bottom of my heart wish you all this and more! And if, like me, sensual fulfilment is part of your personal quest, perhaps we should meet- somewhere on the way up.
