The Thru-Hiker of the Mind
42% Experience, 62% Mental_Suitability and 26% Physical_Suitability!
You've got the inner fire of a thru-hiker. And there are definitely epic journeys in your future. But they probably won't include a 2,181 mile hike on the Appalachian Trail. Your odysseys will be emotional, vocational, and relational ones. In your career and in your personal life, you'll overcome obstacles and succeed against the odds. If there was a thru-hike of the mind, you'd be the one who'd complete it.
