Summary
"If it's for any other reason (than that you want to) ... you're an idiot." That was Jim Hurst checking Dean Potter on making bad decisions on their climb up the famous Eiger mountain. But it applies to us as conscious creators, too. We know that we can only experience what we vibrate, so suffering our way to success isn't a thing. Struggle just leads to struggle, misery leads to more misery, and only happy journeys lead to happy outcomes. That point is powerfully brought home in a life and death situation on the Swiss Alps!
