“Be like an elastic ball; the higher you fall, the harder you will hit the ground to rise even higher with tremendous energy.”
Life is a continuous journey that starts from birth and continues till our last breath. The path to this journey is not smooth and pampering but wobbles and hard. Many people often choose to play it safe and choose the path of compromise and live unsatisfactory and incomplete life. Though they would pretend that they were happy and living their way, not being honest with themselves doesn’t let them live openly. They suffocate within.
On the other hand, some people walk, run and fall. Now, here again, three cases arise. First, some people would not get up due to the fear of losing again. Second, some would get up only step back and get into the rat race. The third ones never give up and follow their path no matter how many challenges make them fall. They would get up over and over, beating every challenge. This category of people eventually win the race with themselves and succeed.
“Your fear of falling is a boon as long as it keeps you alert while walking or running, and the same is a bane if it stops you from getting out of the comfort of home.”
If we want to be counted in the third category, we must understand that life is a roller coaster ride. A straight road is not the option here to reach success. When you try something that you believe in at the moment, you are either likely to learn and guide or succeed. Both ways, you would be remembered as a winner. But if you never try, you are already failed with no learning and progress but only regrets. This way, you would not be able to make decisions for yourself, let alone guide others.
Let us understand the journey of falling and getting up from the start. A child learns to sit, followed by standing and then walking. But do they do so smoothly? Of course not! They fall many times and get up, not stop trying. Eventually, what’s a result, the child can walk now. Then a child starts learning to ride a bicycle. Their helper would help them in the starting and then slowly would leave it to them although they know the child would fall.
“Courage and willpower multiply with every fall and rise.”
Elders know this is the only mantra for achieving anything- learn, practice, fall, get up and continue. In exams, your task is to prepare your best and go for it. No matter the result, at least you would not be a quitter. But if you miss the exam out of the fear of failing, you will be marked absent anyway with no other possibility. Life is very similar to the instances mentioned above. You have to prepare and give your best with all the courage dominating all the fears in you.
Even the autumn season, the season of fall, teaches us that fall happens to welcome the new life. It is imperative to fall to embrace and enjoy the spring. Suppose obstacles like discouraging people, evil emotions, dishonesty, and low self-esteem make you collapse. In that case, it is your responsibility to build up again with positive people around, positive emotions, honesty, confidence and courage. With every fall, you might feel weak, but you would feel even more robust with every getting up than ever. To lend a hand to get you up every time you fall. I want to share some fall quotes.
