While hiking the Haute-Route Pyrenees I met a hiker who soon became a close friend. Something he said really resonated with me and I carry it close to my heart to remind me that every challenge I face is an essential part of my journey. This is what he said:

“What doesn’t challenge you, doesn’t change you.”

-Torsten (Pyrenees, August 2017)
