Up to the Mountain – When it seems the world is against your dreams
and this is a different version, but one that I love:
There is a song called “Up to the Mountain” by Patty Griffin. She wrote it thinking of what it would have been like for Martin Luther King, Jr. to have seen what he saw – to have his dream. He had gone Up to the Mountain, and seen how wonderful everything could be. But the world had other plans. He faced opposition everywhere he turned. He had to fight and fight and fight from the moment his dream began. Nothing came easy. He got worn down, but he never gave up on seeing his dream come to pass.
We all have dreams. We all have those moments of clarity, where we are up on that mountain top looking out over and where we can see our dream come to pass. It’s like the world falls into place. We know at that moment in that time we have something worth offering. Something in us tells us that we have the capacity to achieve it. But what happens afterwards is often times not that easy. We’ve seen where we want to go, but it seems that no one else is interested in us going there.
We receive opposition from all sides. It’s confusing. It’s heartbreaking even at times. It wears us down. One of my favorite things that I’ve heard people say when it comes to religion is that “even Jesus wasn’t allowed to perform miracles in his hometown.” People in our lives know us in the way that they know us. The adults around us know us as the children we were. Our friends know us as the people we were when we met. Our family knows us as we were when we were little. And those things are very hard to break. People’s ideas of who we are tend to be quite strong. And in general, we aren’t interested in those around us changing. It’s hard to handle when the people around us become “unpredictable.” We have certain patterns that we all work in. We have roles for everyone in our lives. And we usually like for those roles to stay the same, whether they are good for us or not.
The thing is, if we are going to achieve our dreams, we are going to have to fight. And sometimes we are going to have to change our situation. We have to leave people behind who don’t understand and who aren’t supportive. Not necessarily in a way where there is no contact, though sometimes that’s the case. But in a way that allows us to feel free to go forth in our journey to accomplish the things we need to accomplish to live a life of happiness that is fulfilling. People will come in and out of our lives. Few will stay for the long haul. And even fewer will allow us to change and grow.
When that opposition comes against us, we have to be willing to fight. We have to go back up to the mountain, and remember that there is something out there worth fighting for. That our lives and our dreams are worth fighting for. We are worth fighting for. Our happiness matters. Our desires matter. And we are the only ones who can accomplish them. So keep fighting. Keep working. Keep climbing back up, no matter who tries to knock you down. You have it within you. So keep taking chances and grow!

Sometimes, all we have to do is ask, and the universe sends us the answers to our questions. Funny. Once, in my youth, I was en route to the airport to meet an old flame, and I was hesitant to do so… for many reasons… but anyway, right there in the middle of the street was this homeless man holding up a HUGE sign which read: “If your not happy, your heading in the wrong direction!” Needless to say, I did not make that flight. thanks for your post.

“We have to leave people behind who don’t understand and who aren’t supportive.” What an inspiring declaration! This is very hard to do but necessary to live our soul if we choose to lift up to God. So many of us don’t choose to know God deeply enough to understand that He gives us each an opportunity to live our dream. IT’s like the saying in scripture, “many are called, few are chosen.” I don’t believe any of us called or chosen are better than anyone else. The message is simply, are we willing to glorify the LORD, no matter what?

What you said about ‘even fewer will support you as you change’ made me think!
When we change we don’t just change ourselves. We change those around us, to a lesser degree. It often brings them to look at themselves more, and maybe ask the question ‘why aren’t I following my dream too’? If they’re insecure about this and prefer to deny it, that will manifest itself as them opposition to the change you’re making.
This is the same for smaller change – I’ve seen it when friends start up a fitness program or new diet. We often oppose it right away, for the same reasons.
It’s unfortunate but true! Thanks for the post
LikeLike
That’s so true. The things that those around us do make a difference to us. We can’t help but take it in. We can’t help but process it somehow. And it does change us. We’re very quick to resist change. It’s important to try to be open to it instead. That’s a really great point. Thank you for sharing that! 🙂

You said so many great things in this post that I agree with. I have gone through many of the same situations that you wrote about, and the part where you said, “The adults around us know us as the children we were,” and our friends know us only as the person we were when we first met, is so true! You talked about leaving the people behind who hold these impressions against us, and I see how leaving them would keep ourselves from being held back from who we are and what we are capable of doing. But the hard part of this is giving up the security that comes with them, and the feeling that we know who we are when we’re around them. How many times are we willing to give that up, and when will we finaly know who we are? Wow, that was a longer train of thought than I thought it would be. 😛 Great thoughts in your post, and thanks for liking one of mine!
LikeLike
It is definitely security for us to maintain the same roles all the time. And giving them up doesn’t necessarily mean removing them from our lives. But it means that it’s harder for us to challenge ourselves to grow and change and follow our dreams if we are continuously letting them pull us down. We have to find ways to operate where we don’t let those who won’t let us change interfere in the fact that we can and often times should change. We have to make sure we concentrate on where we are going and block out the others. Some people it really is hard to keep in our lives in the role they played when we are going somewhere new. That’s, like you said, the most difficult thing of all. And we can know who we are right now, and know we will probably change in the future, because we are ever growing and evolving. And we may never fully know ourselves. I wrote this on my phone, so I apologize if it doesn’t make sense. And for any autocorrect errors! 🙂 thanks for sharing all of your wonderful thoughts, I really appreciate it!
LikeLike
And that’s the hardest part, knowing who is worth keeping and who will make us a better person. But in the end it comes down to us, and what parts of ourselves are worth keeping, and what parts will make us better with a little change. I love what you said about keeping our eyes forward, and I guess figuring out who and what is essential to keeping our dreams alive and succeeding in them is all a part of the journey of chasing a new dream. And there is a confidence that comes in knowing who we are at this point in time, but also confidence, and excitement, in knowing that we will change in the future, and that it will be a good change if we tep our eyes ahead and focused on our dreams. Everything totally made sense! Thanks for being someone who is willing to think this out and knows it’s real, not just a great discussion, and can talk about it as well!

I wouldn’t say I encountered resistance when I told my friends and family I was getting married and emigrating to the US… but I got a lot of “are you sure?” type questions. I thought my mother would be upset… but a friend told her, “you have to let him go.” I know it broke her heart when I told my parents about my impending divorce though.
But that was a conscious decision by both my wife and I. I thought long and hard about it and realised that we both have different dreams now… and in the intervening months, I’ve come to form my own, new, hopes and dreams. My hopes and dreams are simple: I just need the standard peace, love and happiness LOL I’m prepared to work hard for them. I won’t let go.
It’s also interesting what you wrote about adults looking upon us as children… my Mum told me once that when she dreams of me and my brother, it’s as young children. When parents dream of their adult children, they dream of them as they see them in their minds. I sometimes wonder who James will grow up to be… and while i want him to be exactly the soul and the person he truly wants and deserves to be, I think it’ll be interesting to see how his wants, needs and desires will be different from my own. Whatever his choices, I will be there for him.

It’s interesting how we think of others. I do it all the time with my nephews. I remember them from when they were younger and their personalities have changed so much since then. It’s funny how we hold onto things a certain way and it’s so hard to retrain ourselves to view people differently!
