My whole life I’ve been an underdog. I’m the smallest kid in a big family. I didn’t grow up skiing or climbing competitively. When people look at me, they don’t exactly think see a competent ski mountaineer or Himalayan climber. When I fail at something, I often feel like I’m living up to people’s pre-conceived notions (and my own internalized notion) of my inadequacy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀This year, I’m letting go of those stories that don’t serve me and my purpose and I’m going forward in making my biggest dreams a reality. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀The only limits on what you can achieve are the ones you impose on yourself. Here’s to making bigger goals than ever in 2019! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Photo: sunrise at 8000m on Cho Oyu, a moment I’ll never forget. #bigmountaindreams#mountainsareforeveryone
