Travel Series #1 Mt. Salumayagon (A Dream Come True)

Hello, steemians! I would like to share to all of you one of my dreams that God made it to reality.

When I was still a college student, it was always my dream to climb in a mountain. Back then, my classmates invited me to join with them but I always refused because my parents wouldn't allow me to trek since I was still a student and they wanted me to focused with my studies. Then, I told myself before that I will really climb in a mountain after I graduate.

Last January 24&25, 2018, I graduated from my second course and days after I randomly saw a post in Facebook about Mt. Salumayagon. And I was like, OH MY GASH! (insert emoji) I am the happiest person at that time since it was just near from our place and we do not need to travel to Bukidnon for how many hour.

February 1, my cousins and I, did our first ever climb in a mountain (they were also as happy and excited as I am).

Climbing was the very tiring part. My heart beats faster and I can't hardly catch my breath (perks of having no warm ups before the trek). And I had a lot of complains; it's very tiring, it's too far way, I wanted to rest and I felt like I couldn’t take any more steps. But then I decided, to stopped those complains and negative thoughts, because if I continued to be like that I wouldn’t be able to see those beautiful views as I took the journey.

The more I think negative things, the more I lost my energy.
The more I think positive things and just enjoying every step of my journey, the more my energy gets boost.

I realized, my dream was just like climbing in a mountain, no matter how many struggles I’ve faced just to reached it, I should not give up, keep being hopeful and faithful and always be thankful to the Lord for these struggles because I learned many things and it made me who I am today.

When I reached the top of the mountain, all the struggles I’ve faced turned into a blessing. A blessing because I got to be able to see more of the wondrous views of what God created. The beautiful green mountains, tall trees, hearing the sound of bird’s whistle and the wind’s breeze.

Just like reaching my dream, all the struggles will turn into blessings.

And all I can say with these views, "How amazing our God is, for these creations He made for us, for this world."

As we climb in every mountain, we should always remember this motto,
"Take nothing but pictures.
Leave nothing but footprints.
Kill nothing but time."

Let us love and protect God's creation.
