\"climber.gif\"A son and his father were walking in the crisp clean air of the Swiss Alps.<\/p>\n

In rugged terrain, the son slips and falls \u2013 letting out a shout of pain:
\n“AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”<\/p>\n

To his surprise, he hears a voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain.
\n“AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”<\/p>\n

Curious, he yells: “Who are you?”
\nHe receives the answer: “Who are you?”<\/p>\n

Angered at the apparently mocking response, he screams: “Coward!”
\nHe hears the reply: “Coward!”<\/p>\n

In confusion, he looks to his father who says: “My son, pay attention.”<\/p>\n

He screams to the mountain: “I admire you!”
\nThe voice answers: “I admire you!”<\/p>\n

“You are a champion!”
\nThe voice comes back: “You are a champion!”<\/p>\n

The boy is surprised, but still so does not understand. The father continues:<\/p>\n

“People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.
\nIt gives you back everything you say or do.
\nOur life is simply a reflection of our actions.<\/p>\n

If you want more love in the world, find more love in your heart.
\nIf you want to challenge others to new heights, climb the mountains God sends your way!<\/p>\n

\u201cLife will give you back everything you have given to it.”<\/p>\n

Your life is not a coincidence. It is a reflection of you!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.
\n– Matthew 12:35\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
