always get up

Success isn't defined by how many times we fall, but how many times we get back up.

Between Facebook, Pinterest, and personal development books, how often do we hear things with that undertone?

We hear it so often, so why aren't we living it?
I believe we can become desensitized to words. In this happiness chasing, dream envying world tainted by the everyday obligations and pitfalls of life, we don't appreciate the power of these words. Or we simply allow our mind to focus on other thoughts.

What do you think about when your life hits a bump?
Do you still around mulling in it? Thinking about it, what COULD or SHOULD have been, how awful and unfair it all is?

Whatever you are going through might be very very sad. It might be devastating. Or it could be pure evil and wrong. You may be the victim of unfortunate circumstances where you were completely taken advantage of. You may feel spit out and stomped on by others. Feel those things. Maybe even set a timer. Give yourself a set amount of time to realize what you are feeling and why you are feeling that way. Journal and make sure you are able to articulate it instead of walking around mumbling "I don't know".

Then get up, yell plot twist, and carry on. You are worth more than being defeated. You can turn breakdowns into breakthroughs.

You just have to always get back up.
