Not staying down

The only time you fail is when you fall down and stay down."- Stephen Richards.

Everyone falls at one point in time in their lives and whether they like it or not, that fall is inevitable.
I think it is kind of like a rite of passage except for that, it happens many times over and may never stop happening.

The think process is mostly geared towards how we process the fall. Some get up really quickly like the lizard, nod, force a smile and then try to make their way forward, while many others, just stay down there hoping to be giving a hand.

The sign of defeat is not because you fell or that you fell, it is that you failed to pick yourself up and continue as is.
A determined mind understands the complexities of life and having that understanding that, nothing is cast on stone including ones time on earth, and they make good use of the moments as best as they can.

The battle is never over till it is over and waiting to have a battle free life is not one that can be experienced in this lifetime or any other for that matter.
Challenges is the oil that makes the wheel of life either move freely or not. Know your own and follow through using your wits and gits to oil the chains so it doesn't get stuck.

Learn to stand up fast and if you can, try nodding, smiling while dusting yourself and then proceed on your journey. The idea of a life without falls is just ridiculous and only a fool lives there.

Be smart and be strong willed. head down the path irrespective of the pitfalls and you will be strong enough to hit your target.
