We all stumble. We all fall. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. There is no shame in being fallible. There is no shame in being human.
What we need to remember when we stumble and when we fall is that we have to get back up. We have to make the choice not to stay down permanently. We may need to stay down for a little while to catch our breath. To take stock of where we are. Even to plan how we are going to get back up. But, get back up, we must!
Getting back up is often not that easy. It often demands a lot of courage. We have to admit things to ourselves that we would rather not admit. But in admitting, we will become more accepting of why we stumbled and why we fell. And in doing that we will learn.
And sometimes, we may even need a helping hand to get back up, and that is ok too.
But, we do need to get back up and get the momentum going again.
