“Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.” – Nelson Mandela
NOTE: Call it falling down, knocked down, or disappointed in many ways they are gifts to us. Each time we are knocked down and get up, we become stronger, more resilient. It’s as if life prepares us for each succeeding stage of our journey. Yes, disappointments and the other events that knock us down hurt, but we’re stronger, tougher, more resilient than anything that takes a swing at us. Never quit. Never give up. Get up, get going, and show them all you got what it takes.
