I'll take the stairs

There is always something to prove.  The second I become complacent in my surroundings I have lost.  I lose the game, I lose the battle.  The constant struggle between what I am and what I know I can be.  I must keep the mindset that there is always something I can do to better myself.  I cannot stop reaching for the top.  Learning to enjoy the journey and be content with my never-ending evolution to become better but not becoming complacent and stalling.  I will never reach the summit, but the summits will reveal to be plateaus and clearings that present a further uphill climb.  Stopping on that plateau will only cause me to become lazy and though I don't intend, I begin to descend.  If I'm not going up, I'm going down.
I severely lack will power, and the thought of climbing can be overwhelming.  But it's not judged by the summits  I have reached, but the steps taken to get me there.  I can take even but just one step up every day.
