This past week I took my nephew snowshoeing up in the mountains. For some of the hike I let him have the “fun” of breaking fresh trail through deep snow – an experience that’s both exhilarating and exhausting!

But he has a lot more trail breaking ahead in life, so I’m glad to see him learn to trust his abilities.

Everyone needs the chance to go out and break trail now and then. It reminds you of what you’re capable of. And despite the fatigue, it leaves you with an immense feeling of accomplishment.
