You may or may not remember .. but a few weeks ago, I shared a podcast episode about life being like a mountain climb. I want to check in and share a quick follow-up on the lessons learned during my Yosemite adventure from the episode.

In that episode, I opened up about the 20-mile snow-shoe trek that turned into a profound experience of facing exhaustion, shedding some tears in the snow, and discovering the upside of suffering. That’s actually the name of the episode: [The Upside of Suffering? with Sara]

The core lesson from my adventure was that even in the face of challenges, every step forward counts.

I shared a technique I use on my Grand Canyon retreats: “How many steps can you take?”Setting realistic goals, breaking them down into smaller, achievable steps, and pushing through, one step at a time.

In my case, I started with an ambitious 500 steps, but reality kicked in, and I adjusted to 20 steps at a time.

The result? I made it to the cabin, a bit later than planned, but the journey was filled with unexpected beauty, including a glorious mountain sunset.

So, here’s the reminder: progress is progress, no matter how small. 

Life’s journey may not always go as planned, but the detours can bring incredible gifts if we’re open to them.
