Music Monday: "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
from Happiness through Creating · host Brian Barlow
On this episode of Happiness Through Creating, we explore “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell as more than just a love song—it becomes a declaration of commitment, purpose, and resilience. At its core is a vow: a decision to show up and keep going no matter the obstacles. Rather than denying the existence of mountains, valleys, and rivers, the song reframes them as challenges that are real but not powerful enough to stop meaningful creation when driven by clear purpose.The episode highlights how opposition is part of the creative journey, not a signal to quit, and emphasizes the importance of mission and relationships in sustaining momentum. When you know your “why,” obstacles shrink in comparison, and consistent, reliable connection with others builds trust and strength along the way. Ultimately, the message is that great creator moments come not from avoiding difficulty, but from moving through it—anchored in commitment, fueled by purpose, and strengthened by love.Here's a link to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2gAqn4I2AYou can learn even more by following on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/briancbarlow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/briancbarlow/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briancbarlow/ Website: https://www.creatorsopposition.com/
