Where there is a will, there is a way

Gabriel had a goal. To climb the “cliff”, that was made to bring water and electricity to the house they are renovating, and to create a terrace. He searched for ways to climb up but the bites of left over plastic, cords, wire … from the renovation were either to flimsy, or too short. I told him I would bring a rope.

Yann had a rope from his caving day.

Gabriel’s determination reminded me of when Chelsea was the same age. She went to a circus and when she came home proclaimed she wanted to be the lady who walked on her hands! Chelsea put her mind to figure it out, and Within a week or so, she mastered it. Impressive, though her circus dreams did not last.

Gabriel had the same tenacity, the same willpower, and the same mindset to go after his desire…. after a few attempts, encouragement, coaching, a bit of pain, a few scraps, and some tears, he did it and ran back to do it again.
