There Is No Hill

One day, when bicycling with my wife, she said, "How do you like these hills?" Paraphrasing the Matrix, I responded, "There is no hill." Of course, there really was a hill, there were two things I really intended when I said that, one thing I intended was to make her laugh. The other intent, however, goes a little deeper.

I was thinking of the hill as a mindset, a mindset of focusing on the obstacle instead of the solution. So when I said, "There is no hill," like in the movie, I was saying that I choose to focus on what I can do within myself to go over the hill, instead of the obstacle presented by the hill.

There is no hill.
