Self Assessment!
While ascending a hill the initial energetic self-power, curiosity and determination will begin to descend in our minds as we are somewhere up there in between the foothills and the peak
The mind will lobby to quit our mission and return to the base, this is a common trait in humans
A similarity can be found in our life mission too
The lifetime spent from youth to this middle-age is the reason for self-assessment
Whether it's the career, profession or life, the vigour as a youth is bound to diminish as we age
Certain situations and incidents during this period also add to the reason for lowering the self-confidence
Like how a balloon deflates when the air inside escapes, our perseverance too deflates as our confidence levels decrease
At this stage, the mind goes into self-assessment mode to self realize our capabilities and qualities to self-correct ourselves
Those who successfully set right their course will regain their vigour to successfully scale the peak in other words the Life 🙏🏼
