Falling Down Is An Accident; Staying Down Is A Choice
Everyone falls. It’s not unusual. It’s happened to me more times than I can count.
At first, I wondered, “Why me? Why does this always happen to me?” until I saw people in much worse situations greet it with a smile and optimism, moving on with their lives.
Falling is not the problem; most of us will experience it. The problem is that many people take it tragically and remain trapped in that fall for the rest of their lives.
Through all those falls and rises again, I’ve learned a few things:
**Falling can indeed be an accident, but staying down is a choice.** It takes a great deal of time to accept this.
**Perfect conditions don’t exist.** There are only people who make perfect use of what they’ve been given.
**Complaining is useless.** It only breaks your already battered spirit.“This isn’t fair” is a sentence you should delete from your vocabulary. Better people are going through much worse things.
**Discover your hidden strength.** Diamonds are forged under pressure, and so are strong characters.
**Everything is temporary.** No matter how painful a fall is, it won’t last forever. This too will pass.
**Accept reality as it is.** Don’t run away. I fell. It’s okay. What can I do now to fix it? Don’t be discouraged.
**A fall is just an opportunity to get back up.** As the Japanese proverb says: “Fall seven times, get up eight.”
**Stop exaggerating a fall.** Change your mindset. It’s just a “drop in the ocean.”
**Be grateful for everything.** With gratitude, optimism is sustainable.
*If falling is an accident, but staying down is a choice - how many times have you consciously chosen to stay down?*
