M&Ms: Moments and Mountains

M&Ms: Moments and Mountains

The Climb!

Life has a way of handing us M&Ms—not just the colorful candy that melts in your mouth, but Moments and Mountains. These two forces show up at every turn, shaping who we are and reminding us that peace and knowledge often arrive through the climb.

The Moments

Moments are the snapshots we carry: the laughter with a friend, the disappointment of a closed door, the pride in a new accomplishment, or the sting of a setback. These moments are not random—they are teachers. Even the ones that feel like “dead ends” are often just pauses, opportunities to reflect and recalibrate. A delay isn’t denial. A detour isn’t destruction. Sometimes, the moment that felt like the end is the very thing that prepared you for what’s next.

The Mountains

Mountains stand tall as the challenges we face—big, daunting, and often intimidating. Yet, mountains also represent growth, perspective, and strength. Every step up the slope reminds us of our endurance. Every stumble teaches us about our balance. And when we finally reach the summit, the view reveals not just where we are, but how far we’ve come.

People, places, jobs, and relationships all bring us both moments and mountains. They test us, stretch us, and sometimes frustrate us. But they also allow us to see the resilience inside ourselves—our strengths and our vices. Both matter. Our strengths fuel the climb, while our vices, when acknowledged, keep us humble enough to learn along the way.

Choosing Peace on the Climb

The real victory is not just in overcoming, but in choosing peace while overcoming. It’s about learning to pause in the moment, take a breath, and recognize that the mountain is not your enemy—it’s your path. The climb teaches us patience, perseverance, and perspective.

So the next time you’re handed M&Ms—Moments and Mountains—remember:

• Reflect in the moments.

• Climb the mountains.

• And carry peace and knowledge with you on the journey.

Because every step, every smile, and every stumble adds to your story. And your story is worth the climb.
