"Even if you fall on your face,

you're still moving forward."

~ Business Leader, Victor Kiam

Your action for today

is to think of a situation
where you fell on your face
and you were able
to make something positive out of it.

I can think of at least 5 huge events in my life;
Devastating in the moment,
victory in the end.

I'm not sure about falling on my face but I have certainly stumbled plenty. There are all kinds of lessons in that.

"Falling ain't nothing till you hit the ground"! We used this for a County Fair poster back in my Vail CO days of managing many events at the fair. Always loved it!

Hi Thomas- I love this quote. Even if you're falling forward at least you're not standing still.

Hello Thomas - while I don't embrace a stumbling strategy, I admit it has happened. Falling, failing (and maybe even flailing at times) is a part of life's challenges. We hopefully learn and move forward.

Yeah I agree, I hesitated on this because the literal sense of this quote - it's what I don't like about the quote, but the spirit it preaches captured my enthusiasm.

I have learned there are far fewer failures in life, but far more lessons.
