"Fall down seven times, stand up eight," is a Japanese proverb that should really be taken to heart by all of us. I recently saw an example of this come into play.
I was at a cheerleading competition waiting for my daughter's team to perform. Another squad was on the floor, when one of the fliers tumbled from her stance. As she fell, she took down two other girls with her. All three hit the mat with a thud. Despite gasps from the crowd, the trio sprung back into action. I was impressed with their determination to keep going. Whatever uneasiness or fear they felt, they hid it.
You don't have to literally fall to get back up. Falling isn't failing. We all get off course from time to time. If you miss a day or two at the gym or decide to eat a doughnut instead of an apple, don't dwell on it. You may have to tweak and adjust goals along the way. Just don't make excuses. You'll never see results if you do. Fall down, get up, dust yourself off and keep going. Repeat when necessary.
