Music Monday: "Climb Every Mountain" from The Sound of Music
from Happiness through Creating · host Brian Barlow
This Music Monday invites us into Climb Every Mountain from The Sound of Music, not as entertainment, but as a philosophy for living a meaningful, creative life. In a moment of deep uncertainty, Mother Abbess doesn’t give Maria a plan — she offers alignment. This episode explores the difference between merely meeting expectations and responding to a calling that speaks to who we truly are.Through the lyrics of the song, we reflect on why dreams matter more than goals. Goals give structure, but dreams shape identity. Dreams stick to the soul, evolve with us, and orient our lives toward purpose, even when the path is unclear or difficult. Drawing on wisdom from Langston Hughes, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King Jr., this conversation reframes dreams as acts of devotion — requiring love, faithfulness, and courage over a lifetime.Blending creativity, spirituality, and personal growth, this episode invites listeners to realign with what feels deeply true. Not faster. Not louder. But more honestly. Because happiness through creating isn’t about outcomes — it’s about becoming. Keep climbing. Keep crossing. Keep dreaming — not as an escape, but as a calling.Here is a link to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkJNaTQgjKM&list=RDHkJNaTQgjKM&start_radio=1You 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/
