Without

Without a climb, there is no vista.

Without risk, there’s no reward.

Without sacrifice, there is no accomplishment.

Without pain, there is no joy.

Without planning, there are no bridges.

Without want, there is no patience.

Without toil, there is no harvest.

Without sowing, there is no reaping.

Without effort, there is no fulfillment.

Without challenge, there is no triumph.

Without opposition, there’s no learning.

Without the climb, we’ll never see the vista.
