Hike Up (Part 2)

Hike Preparation

Author: Manuel R. CortezRodas

We Are Going Hiking! We have made a decision and we are going to go hiking.  We are going hiking and we have decided that we are going here.  To this place that we have decided would be good for us to go hiking at.  We have also decided that we are going hiking on a set time.  This time will give us the opportunity to make the necessary preparations, encourage participants, gather the gear needed for the hike, and then go on our hike.

Preparation for the hike must be done in the time we have from the moment the decision is made, to the moment we go on our hike.  Preparation is necessary as we need to think of what possible events and outcomes we expect to take place as we go hiking.  Preparation is to be done by the participants, so that they are ready for the mental, physical, and spiritual needs that are anticipated in the hike.  The gear must also be prepared for the hike, as it is the supporting tool in which we may come to depend if the need arises.  This is why the gear we use for the hike must be in a ready condition which allows it to be used by the participants.

Go.  The time has come, and we must go on the hike for which we have prepared for.  The gear is ready, the participants are gathered, the path has been planned, council was seek from the start, and now we take action.  We begin to hike together, as we planned, toward our goal, prepared for obstacles, and overcoming challenges, until together, we all reach our goal and return back safely and secure with the knowledge of the experience that we have learned.

Hiking Up

Author: Manuel R. CortezRodas

We have sprung into action, seek council, set goals, done path planning, and now it is time to hike up, toward our goal and back.  It is now time to take our place on the road.  It is now time to begin our journey toward that educational goal that we have set and plan to reach.  It is now time to take action, and hike.

As we hike we can begin to see if the path we have planned is  clear and defined.  We can begin to see how good our road-map is.  It is now when the obstacles and challenges that we have and have not prepared for may appear.  We must do what we can to continue hiking up to our goal.

One last chance is presented to us just prior to setting off on a hike.  Do we go?  If we are ready, and we are sure, and we are confident that we have done all that we can to prepare, then we should go on with our hike and toward our goal.

Did we reach our goal?  Were we able to succeed in reaching the goals that we set and planned?  and if we did not, what can we do to reach our goal? do we need to seek more council? do we need to plan another path? As we go on with our hike, these are some of the concerns that we must maintain in mind.  There are many others that we may come across, and some that we cannot anticipate to accurately predict in the future.  But we must hike up to our goal, even if we need to stop.

If we were able to reach our goal, then we must also be able to return back safely to our place of origin, this will consist a successful hike.  We now evaluate our hike and learn from it.  We can now decide if the hike was indeed successful.  Was the hike a good path to reach our goal?  How was our hike? We learn from each individual experience, the experience of the whole, and what we learn, we share again in council, a council in which we can also decide if we are going to hike again, and if so, when.
