Simply. Beautiful.

It was a scene that could have come from a movie. It was quiet. The weather was perfect. He was all alone. In front of him he saw the peak of the mountain that he had conquered. The journey towards this point had been long and hard. He had to overcome many obstacles. Instead of being totally exhausted, he noticed how he was full of positive energy. His face revealed a smile. Deeply golden. A reflection of the most stunning sunrise. The sky was blue. The color was intense. It touched him deep within. For the first time in his life he saw the sky with clear eyes. He saw how it really was. Without judgment. Without doubt. Without expectation. Without fear. He saw what made it precious. He saw love. He took it all in.

The mountain had outstanding proportions. The peak was powerful. A magnificent layer of snow covered the top gently to give it an extra dimension of excellence. His eyes starred at this symbol of victory. He always selected the more difficult path in his life. This made him to who he was today. Brave. Authentic. Kind. Serving. With a purpose and mission that stood tall as a rock. Looking back he realized that his focus on the mountain top has guided him all along through his choices. Attracted to a sweet mix of conscious and unconscious patterns. Sometimes he lost connection with the path but he always managed to get back on the road. He felt how he had developed wisdom. A treasure that would now always remain in his heart. It served as a compass to bring more happiness.

The journey left traces inside him. He discovered who he really was. He was grateful for this experience. Michelangelo was so right, inside every man, there is already the version who he really is. We have to let go all layers that are not aligned with who we truly are. It takes work on a daily basis to find our true self back. Our environment tends to put us in boxes. If we believe it and act upon it we lose an important part of our delightful self. He made a promise - as he saw the shining peak - to always follow his intuition and heart from here. He understood all lessons learned. His exceptional journey was a reminder to him that there is a sea of possibilities if we are willing to see the truth of who we really are. His deepest wish was to support others to go on a similar quest and find their own golden treasure.

Around the peak he saw two stripes. He recognized a V-sign. The V of victory. As if the mountain was talking to him. 'You conquered me', whispered the mountain, 'and at the same time you found yourself back'. The mountain was old and wise and playful too. He was laughing because his magic was working. The sky cooperated well that day to create the victory sign. They always had a good relationship and were deeply connected. They could always rely on each other. The mountain in turn remained at his location, faithful and supporting the sky with his grounded mindset. The blue color of the sky was composed with divine love. For the best outcome. The whole scene was humble. No external factors to impact the happiness felt. He had become love. The outer world reflected that. Simply. Beautiful.
