As adventurers, even though we see much out there, often there can be hidden from our own eyes... certain secrets...
The truth of it is that we each have our own unique 'summit strengths'...
Novices sense their presence, while experienced ones have learned to respect and apply the vigour of what makes each of us individually strong. They are there regardless of how we define our own 'summits' in adventure and life... We discover these areas of power, durability, and stamina often in surprising ways. We develop them here, even more profoundly out there, through our own adventure ways and means while testing, toughening, or hardening and tempering ourselves...
As with all such strengths, when they are exercised, they become even more enduring, more resilient, more likely to assist us; to be there when we really need them - like in times like these...
What might your secret resoluteness be Dear Finders; what are your own particular strengths that make up the sum of you as an adventurer... Is it your enthusiasm, your distinct determination, the ways in which you plan and prepare... Might they be found in your persistence, possibility within your willingness to support and encourage others; maybe they are hidden among your unique physical abilities, or your skills of many kinds... Could they be seen in your talents in teaching, sharing, and leading others. Might they be discovered in what you've learned about yourself out there and how you bring that back here. Are you like the rivers that always find a way to keep flowing. Are you of the mountains that stand tall and weather the elements so well. Could you be reflected in the desert in its quiet yet powerful presence. Maybe you are of the canyons which have endured the millenia, or like the small coastal islands which meet every storm head on while only becoming more beautiful each and every season...
Are you of the bear, wolf, or eagle clan who mirror the character and bearing of their spirit animals during such trials...
Your 'secret summit strengths' are there my friends, and in times like these, we are all called upon to exercise them...

We all have talents, some of us simply throw them away because they are not easy to kindle. Saddening, really.
Some of the talents are not thrown away, but instead wither and die.
Some people have no one around to help nurture their gifts. Those with no mentors or teachers who show interest are to me, the saddest of all.
