It Is Not the Mountain You Conquer but Yourself Affirmation

The Affirmation

  • It is not the mountain I conquer, but myself! I am reaching for the top of the mountain and my day in the sun is here!

  • It is not the mountain you conquer, but yourself. You are reaching the top of your mountain. Your day in the sun is here.

Do you have a goal or a big dream? Do you believe you can do it? After World War II, one of the great races in the world was to see who could be the first

I often say, “There’s moment in the pursuit of every dream when the only thing standing between you and your dream is you.”

This affirmation is based on the famous Sir Edmund Hillary quote, “It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.” The quote is quite motivational and significant because Hillary was the first westerner to summit Mt. Everest along with his Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay, on May 29, 1953.

This affirmation is meant to instill confidence and a belief that you can overcome the challenges on your journey and reach your mountaintop.


Follow your bliss. Experience your bliss. Become your bliss.
