It is a shocking fall, but You can Stand up Again

Sometimes, we fall down in slow-motion, and it is so slow that we can even see the collapse coming.

Other times, we fall down in such a sudden and strong movement that it feels like a terrible crash or that some invisible force just removed the soil from beneath our feet. It feels like being hit by a massive blow coming out of nowhere or being thrown away by a gigantic gust while strolling by the seashore.

During these times, because of the unexpected impact of the incident and its devasting effects, just the thought of rising up again makes our bodies shiver of pain and our minds feel pangs of agonies.

However, yesterday’s blow is not, and should not, be a reason for staying permanently on the ground.

You see, falling is part of life, but it is not an excuse to stop trying to get up and move on.

It is alright to look at all the wreckage and have some feeling of desolation for a while.

However, you know that life is a great learning adventure and, consequently, any failure, any fall, big or small, slow or sudden, can be seen as a lesson that teaches us another way of avoiding certain things or, even better, it teaches us different ways of doing whatever has led to any undesirable outcome.

So, if you see the opportunity in it, you will be able to leverage it in your next attempt.

Therefore, if life throws you out of balance, do not stay down there on the floor crawling, whining, or crying over past defeats.

Instead, simply remember the majestic adventure of life, get your acts together, look at yourself in the mirror, bring back all your innermost and uplifting dreams, and go out there again, and again, and again, until you are up on your feet chasing your goals once more.

Meanwhile, be sure to stay focused on your course, for if you do it, you will get there at some moment in time, I am sure of it.
