The rope theory of life.

Everyone gets a rope.

Some are shorter than others.  Some are thicker than others.  Some have notches.  And others are a little bit slippery.

Each of us has a choice.

You can either climb up the rope, dangle on it, or hang yourself with it.

What have you chosen to do?

Just imagine what the world would be like if all of us spent a lot less time examining the rope we were given… and a lot more time examining how we’re going to climb up them.
