  • Todd-Huston-Speech-Book.Pdf
    MORE THAN MOUNTAINS The Speech Edited transcription of Todd Huston’s speech Editor Julie Dunbar Huston Copyright 2018 Todd Huston LLC Forward The beauty from the mountaintop can be a very spiritual experience, and very symbolic of our life journey. We all have greatness within us – it’s how we are created. Eventually we live that greatness, and it’s the most brilliant light we could ever imagine. It beams through all darkness, not only in our lives, but the lives of those with whom we come into contact, and even those upon whom our thoughts rest. Getting to that point can seem like quite a hike up a strenuous mountainside, because throughout our journey we cram our packs full of some dark and unnecessary debris. This debris may take the form of negativity others have said about us that we can’t seem to shake off. It may take the form of abuse we have suffered. We may find we have taken on an unfavorable and unhealthy self-image. The debris may even come in the form of impatience, anger, or greed, which don’t seem terribly harmful; however, these are the most toxic because we feel justified in holding these thoughts toward ourselves or others. But none of this has anything to do with our true selves and the greatness and light we all are. In fact, it’s the opposite of our true identity and will only shroud our light in empty darkness. The more we unload our pack of this vile debris and toss it to the wind the easier becomes our ascent, until we finally let go of every false suggestion about who we are, recognize our true, beautiful identity, and reach that incredible summit.
