Applicable Life’s Lessons From A Revisit to McAfee Knob.

Quote of the Month: “ If A is a success in life, then A equal x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keep your mouth shut.”

Dr. Albert Einstein.

McAfee Knob is one of the most photographed spots along the Appalachian Trail. It is located in the Roanoke Valley, in the Blue Ridge Mountain in Virginia. McAfee Knob attracts thousands of hikers yearly from all around the World. It is approximately 4-6 hours round trip hike and provides the hiker with amazing aerial views of the Catawba Valley in Virginia.

October 6 2024, was a great day. My family and the Youth from my local church visited McAfee Knob. The night before the hike, refreshments were packaged for all our hikers. We hiked to the summit of McAfee Knob at an elevation of 3197 feet above sea level. It took us approximately 2.5 hours to hike to reach the top and 2 hours to get down . Interestingly, there are some similarities between hiking strenuous McAfee Knob and becoming successful in life.

One: the road to the top is hard, therefore, one must be efficient with their time. It requires personal effect and genuine guidance to reach the top.

Two: take rest and have refreshments to refuel your life to ascend to the top.

Three : the view at the top of McAfee Knob, and your success, once at the top, is quite amazing.

Four : it requires less work to get to the bottom than to the top.

Five: quitters never win and true winners never quit.

In conclusion, have the strength to finish an incomplete dream or revisit a previously good delayed plan. It is evident that transforming one’s idea into a reality is one of the best ways to achieve success in this world. When possible, come up with daily fresh ideas on how to create your best possible life ever.
