When You Fall, Get Back Up

“Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.”-

Arthur Schopenhauer

Life is all about falling down and getting back up. It is okay when we fall down, but when you fall down, don’t stay there. Don’t make it your home. It is not your home. When you fall down, rejoice! Be happy. Be glad. It means you are trying to change your position. It means that you want to leave where you are now to somewhere better. It means you are tired of doing the same old things that are not giving you what you want. It means you are tied of hanging out with negative people. It means you want to go chase your dreams. It means you know that there are better days ahead of you. Wow!

“We learn by making mistakes. We learn by falling down. We learn by being ourselves.”

You should celebrate yourself for falling down. It is a sign of progress. If you continue to fall down and get up, you will continue to grow. That is how explorers learn how to explore the world. They start with one step at a time. We learn by making mistakes. We learn to get better by taking risks. If you don’t fall, you can’t learn how to walk. If you don’t fall, you won’t know how to get up. If you don’t fall, you will not know what it means to fall.

Life is all about falling down. If you don’t want to fall, if you don’t want to fail, you don’t want to grow. Growth comes from failing. Real growth comes from falling. Real growth comes from making mistakes and learning from them. Real growth brings happiness. If we are not falling, we are not growing. If we are not failing, it means we are not doing enough. Whatever it is you want to do, just do it. Don’t be afraid of falling. You can’t rise if you don’t fall down.

“Never stop trying. Never stop doing. Never stop loving your life. Never stop loving your work.”

Falling is a part of life. Many people are not successful because they don’t want to fall. They don’t want to fail. They don’t want people to laugh at them. If you really want to change your life, you must be in love with making mistakes and learning from your mistakes. More mistakes, more experiences. The more mistakes you make, the more you will continue to discover in life. Never stop failing forward. Never stop trying. Never stop doing. Never stop loving what you do. Keep falling forward!

“Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can’t build on it; it’s only good for wallowing in.”-Katherine Mansfield

Why are you regretting your past? You are not alone. We have all done things that we are not proud of. We have all done things that we are not comfortable talking about. Are you going to allow your past to take charge of your life, or are you going to take charge of your life?

If you want to live a beautiful life, you must control your own life. You must control your own happiness. You must control your own mind. This is important. He who controls his or her mind controls everything.

Look, my friend, your past is not to regret, your past is to celebrate. Your past should be your right hand teacher. Your past should be your teacher. Why is that? You have made some pretty good decisions in the past. And also you have made some terrible decisions in the past. You can learn from them. Your past is your past. Accept it. Celebrate it. Learn from it.

When you keep worrying about your past, you are not helping yourself, you are hurting yourself. You are hurting yourself; you can no longer focus on the present. You can no longer focus on yourself- your life, your happiness, your health, your relationships, your career.

Remember, you don’t live in the past, you live in the present. You dream in the present. You set goals in the present. You attend your job interview in the present. You fall in love in the present. You kiss in the present. You travel to other countries in the present. So, my friend, why the heck are you worrying about yesterday?

Let us talk sense here. Can you bring yesterday back? If you are honest with yourself, the answer is a big no. Your focus should be how to move forward, not how to move backward. If you have made the decision to move forward, now is the time to start doing things right. Work in the now. Love in the now. Plan in the now. Think in the now. Enjoy in the now.

If you don’t focus on your NOW, you will not have tomorrow that you are fighting to have. What you are doing right now will determine how you are going to live your life tomorrow. So to have a better tomorrow, maintain a better today. Don’t worry about anything, plan for everything.
