"The first few steps were very easy...but these ones at the top arent...."
...exclaimed my 6yo. I was pushing her to go thru the climber (I think that's what it is called) quickly but what she said was true... the initial steps/rungs look steep but are actually easy to climb. The ones at the top are flat yet they are the tricky ones to cross. The structure is such that you get good support to move up when you start off and then your reach a stage where you may be out of your comfort zone and the structure offers some challenges. It's more about the attitude/mind that may help you from thereon for passing through the next set of steps.
Isn't this true about so many other aspects of life. When you start your career the first few moves (be it promotions, role changes or other forms of growth) are fairly easy. But as you climb further you realize the steps that come subsequently aren't as easy to transcend as the earlier ones (though the early ones seemed a steep climb when we were at the bottom). Guess the same then applies to habits, investments, relationships or any processes you may have been following. The initial steps are fairly easy but then moving to the next levels suddenly seem daunting. Stalling is not an option so you figure a way to ensure you move ahead even if it means you take it slowly and cautiously (without having to turn back or fall through).
