Motivational Monday…If You Stumble
Have you ever fallen off a large sailboat onto a dock in front of a bunch of onlookers? I have! And to add to my humiliation, I was in my cutest bathing suit, trying to look my best.
It was not my finest moment, but in my defense, another boat’s wake caused the sailboat to move away from the dock just as I was jumping onto the dock. I fell flat on my face and broke my big toe!
Everyone was laughing and applauding, so as I hobbled towards my friends, I smiled, waved, and took a bow.
Life loves to throw you curveballs. No one is immune.
You have two ways to deal with them…get angry or throw in the towel…or pick yourself up, smile, own it, and move forward.
In an oops moment, what is memorable is not that you stumbled but how you handled it.
How do you deal with your oops moments?
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.

If you stumble make it part of the dance.
