"I don't give a fuck how fast I fall and how hard I hit the ground as long as I get up and back into the fray. Falling isn't failure, and as long as I own my thoughts and actions and push forward I'm still in the fight."
Life rarely goes exactly to plan and it often weighs heavily upon us. What we do matters on those occasions and what we do often depends on how we think and upon where our attitude lies. Seeing moments of adversity, falling over, as failure and feeling sorry for oneself in those moments simply perpetuates the issues and inhibits progression; learning from them, standing back up and proceeding in new ways is a better fight and one that carries us towards more optimal outcomes.

I was always good at falling down and brishing myself off. It is only now in my later years with all this time on my hands that I think about those falls. Although I got up and moved on, I still find myself over analyzing each situation from the past. I wonder how things would have turned out if I would have made different choices and not fallen. I often come to the conclusion things wouldn't have turned out as good as they did for me.
If don't correctly, analysing situations like that can work well; the thoughts need to be productive though, there's no point wishing things had been different when there's no way to go back and make them different. We can change the future though, shape it.
The real strength is not never to fall, but to have the strength to get up again, and that doesn't mean get up alone, sometimes a help is not sign of weakness
Not asking for help when one needs it is a weakness not a strength.
And my brain jumps straight to this song (even though technically only the first two lines are relevant XD)
Ah yes I remember that song unfortunately; hated it. Still do.
Each day, every day. One gets better in going through all the steps of the process without skipping some. Sill gotta taste the mud, but it's shorter every time, and one gets up faster each time.
I couldn't agree more. Adversity helps us develop better practices and coping mechanisms.
Feeling sorry for yourself is a waste of time; you have to move forward, make amends, or change course if necessary.
Now that’s a spectacular view!
A good view, yes.
I hope you had a great day!
