The Mountain Story By Frazier

  

I was born in the mountains! Does that make me a climber? I don't know! Ugweno Kilimanjaro Tanzania; This is the village i was born, where i spent 7 years of my childhood and all the Christmas & new year seasons for over 13 years! 

When i look at these mountains i remember two things, 

1. Childhood moments and naught things i did with friends and siblings. We use to steal sugar canes in villagers farms, and stone beehives trying to get some honey! We also organize some fights as we intended to know who is the fighting champion of the village. I also remember how we moved from one house to another during "Ubarikio" celebrations, just eating and drinking.  
It was funny and crazy and really naughty. Rest in peace to those gone. I miss you all. Its also a place i got my home name; Tyson (don't ask how)

2. Climbing to the top of where you can see with a bucket of water or a burden of livestock fodder on your head. At some point you'd have a headache but you gat to make sure there is enough water at home, and cows have enough to eat.

 

It has been 5 years since the last time i visited; and here i am, all the memories coming back to me, like it was just yesterday! Wondering a boy who could go to and fro up to the top with a bucket of water 6 times a day for so many years! DO I CALL IT HARD LIFE? NO, NOT AT ALL. I call it adventure! I call it rehearsal for whats real. 

As am looking at the valleys and top of the mountain i reflect what "Building a life of your dream" is like... you gonna have to fetch water from the valleys and climb with it to the top of the mountain! And It may happen; one trip isn't enough! depends on how you use and the number of people in need; So you gonna have to go back once again and perhaps 3 times, 4, 5, 6, 7.... 10. 

Your outside will get exhausted, its OK! It can survive it! What matters the most is the IN-SIDE-"YOU"... Make sure "YOU" don't quit! As you start you will simply not see yourself go 6 times or more but eventually  you will count and see that, you have achieved it. That's how building something is! 

So if you have a dream all that you have to do it to start working it out. it doesn't matter how many times you will have to climb and go down on that maintain, only that matters is YOU ARE LIVING THE MOMENT; YOU  ARE WORKING OUT SOMETHING YOU BELIEVE IN. 

Remember there are so many adventures on the activity! Friends and family are will always be there to make sure you make it regardless of the trips you'd have to go. Last but not least; just keep it positive! its not hard, it only makes you harder. 

ENJOY THE MOMENTS
