Getting knocked down is tough...but isn't
getting back up again the hard part?
If you attempt to make a difference or a change
hitting the ground in failure is always a
possibility. If we are judged by failures
then fear will be our mantra in life leading
to at the very least modification of our
goals and dreams.
With every knockdown we experience in our lives,
comes a lesson. Once the dirt has been dusted off
our bruised behinds and ego....aren't we better
for the experience? Aren't we stronger for getting
up and looking at why we failed as we go forward
to something better.
We just have to keep getting back up...
COURAGE doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the
quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try
again tomorrow." (Unknown).Isn't this where our strength
and faith is truly tested? Every day to get up,
dust ourselves off and try again?

Are you living... today?
Are you spending today doing something you enjoy or with someone you care about? Or are you sitting at home worrying about something you said or did yesterday or thinking about tomorrow?
We forget sometimes that the next day is not guaranteed to any of us....
and yesterday while we can work on the way we look at the past, (therapy?)
...we really cannot change it. As for our future...we can prepare for it, that's true...but other than that worrying about it will NOT change it.
Perhaps spending more time on living today would bring ease to whatever we were spending all of our time worrying about?
We can only do it...not try...but do. Worrying about tomorrow has not doubt
not brought today to you in a positive way. So set a time to worry
if you must...and worry to your heart's content...but as for the rest of today...live it!
