We’ve all heard the saying survival of the fittest. We know this means the weak fall first and usually
quickly.
Will you allow something that has no personification to take
control of you? Will you allow the
universe to tell you who and what you are? Or will you show it what you are
made of?
Luckily we can always get up no matter how hard we
fall. The important thing is to focus on
how fast we are going to get up. How are
we going to handle the setback? Whether
you crawl and then get on your knees and then your feet, consider it a VICTORY.
These curveballs always have a lesson to teach us, fortunately the sooner we learn the lesson, the sooner we will be back on our feet. We need to evaluate our situation, our beliefs and our thinking. Diamonds are formed from coal under severe pressure. This is your pressure.
So I am writing this as a word of encouragement, no matter
how long you have to crawl before getting back on your feet, go ahead, JUST DO
IT! As dark as it may feel at the moment, crawling is better than having been
knocked out by life. The biggest lesson these curveballs teach us is true appreciation, gratitude and the true meaning of life.
When you are back on your feet you will stand taller than
ever before, stronger than you ever were, more determined to shape your life. These lessons create a deeper, more compasionate, stronger being.
So as hard as things are now or in the future remember focus on getting
up. Step by step till you can stand tall
again. Do whatever you need to do to get yourself back. DO NOT let life, fear or despair win. You are greater than any of these.
It’s not about how hard you get hit; it’s about how many
times you get back up.
