Valhalla is Earned

The summit isn't promised. But the path is yours

We’re told to chase the summit. To visualize success, manifest the peak, and believe we’ll arrive. But the truth is harder—and more beautiful. We fall. We fail. And if we’re honest, we begin again not with bravado, but with clarity. This sonnet is for those who rise not once, but repeatedly. Who know their bones, build their plan, and climb with purpose. The summit isn’t promised. But the path is yours.

me, out for a ruckwalk in winter, 2023. on my path.

we can manifest all we want, but until we know truly who we are and where we want to go, well, most any action is better than inaction, but it is targeted action based on clarity of vision that gets things done.

Does this ring true for you? I’d like to hear about it in the comments. Thanks
