This affirmation is based on the famous quote by Sir Edmund Hilary. He was the first westerner to summit Mt. Everest. He said, "It's not the mountain you conquer, but yourself." He meant the challenge is never the thing in the outside world. The challenge is within us. As always, the affirmation is recorded in the first and second person for maximum impact.
