Stairway To Heaven

Stairway To Heaven

The climb was insane and I cannot express how amazing it was, I mean who would ever think that I would be falling asleep one night and waking up to views that are so pure and created by God that I was just shocked that something this great was right in front of my eyes. It's kind of like a new born child, God created this gift for you to enjoy and share with for the rest of your life and you treasure every moment of it. To see these views was raw determination. I say this only because if I wouldn't have pushed myself to move further I would have been stuck there at the base saying I can't do this but I just had so much fire inside me that was burning and it would take a lot to shut my heart down. You know your giving everything you got when your legs start to turn into jello and every step seems like more weight is added on and you have to pull on your leg just to get it to move, or even worse when you are coming down and you fall because your mind is just focused on finishing that your body just naturally gets tired while you collapse falling down the mountain. Not to be selfish but I did not do it alone, I had the guidance of my teammates to keep me from turning back. At one point I was so sick from not drinking water at one point I said this is it for me I can't take no more, after I was left behind and left with Greg I realized what am I doing sitting here I must keep going to the next level. So soon after I grabbed all of my gear took a swig of water and just started putting one foot in front of the other and I was propelling myself up that mountain. In a previous letter it talks about how I adventured snow blindness and did not make it to the top of Mount Elbrus but that does not make me any less of a person, I gave it my best shot, I just don't really know what to think of it. For an odd reason I was not meant to climb all the way to the top and I have to accept that. And after saying that I kind of realized why I was held back from finishing.

Who am I in this world? That’s a good question but can simply be answered by saying that I am who I am. I am not some person in Hollywood, my parents, or my brothers, I am Tim Heidt and I care about others around me and myself. All I need in life is what I believe and to push towards success no matter how many times I fail and even if I just succeed once that is all I will ever need in life. No is just not an option for me you just got to keep on moving even when the road starts to take some turns and there are pot holes that need be swerved but one way or another you found a way around it and that is how we keep living the lives we do, just keep on going and build desire in your heart, and just maybe you will make it out alive. You should never live life scared because you never know when your time is up and that is why I choose to do the things I do, being a risk taker is the best part of my life because I am willing to give things a shot to prove to myself that things are very well possible if you set your mind to it. I am very well proud of myself for flying all the way across the world and doing something that not many people get the chance to do, even if I didn't get to climb I still went and gave it a shot and that’s all that matters because I never gave up and I gave it a look and it was well worth my time. To this day I really do not know what I was supposed to over come. I may never know what could have been all I know is that I went, I saw, and I conquered; and my new life has begun. I am making it out to be the best life I will ever have even if I was to die soon or later, I know I would return to another life and continue the path of life.

Sincerely,
Tim Heidt (The Eagle Eye Pontificator)
