Totally forgot to share my COT there, but here it is:

“It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.” – Edmund Hillary, New Zealand mountaineer who was one of two who were first to reach the summit of Mt. Everest

It seems he is saying, the hard things themselves are not really the biggest thing, it’s more our thoughts/fears/doubts to get over, in order to try the hard things and often succeed!

And as a believer, this verse is one that helps me overcome those fears and doubts: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
