The Climb

Yesterday, as I was listening to the Rick Dee's Weekly Top 40 on Hitz, it featured a new single from Mylie Cyrus called The Climb. This single is scheduled to be the soundtrack of the upcoming Hannah Montana: The Movie. Here are the music video and lyrics:

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna want to make it move
Always going to be an up-hill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna want to make it move
Always going to be an up-hill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

I find this song very inspiring and true. The lyrics perfectly describe our daily struggles to achieve what we want in life, be it career, money, fitness etc. Life is an uphill battle most of the time, but we have to always keep pushing on. Sometimes, we win. Sometimes, we lose. We can take a thousand steps, but sometimes each step is plagued with obstacles and doubts of whether we're going in the right direction or if we'll ever get there. Life can knock us down and we can lose faith along the way, but we need to keep getting up and continue moving forward. Sometimes each step can seem like forever, just keep going and stop listening to the voice in your head telling you that you will never get there.

Sometimes, it's not about the destination or how fast we get there, but it's what we do to get there that truly matters the most. How we perpetually struggle to keep ourselves up and going , no matter how many times we get knocked down, is what makes us stronger. It's about the climb =)
