Anyone who has ever observed a baby trying to walk for the first time will most probably understand this post and what I am trying to say. When a baby first tries to walk, they have utter concentration, they know what they want. They will take teeny tiny little steps. They will stop and wobble slightly. They will fall and land on the floor and cry maybe. They will get frustrated. Then they will stand up and try again and again and again until they have a grip on it.
Why am I mentioning this then? No i havent gone mad contrary to popular belief. I've mentioned this because sometimes its hard for us to fall down and then stand back up again. As adults we tend to try to run before we can walk. And then we fall with such a force it feels as though we cant ever stand back up again. So I urge you to think like a baby, take tiny little steps to reach your destination, gentle steps, so if you fall you don't hurt yourself so much. And have the determination of a baby, babies dont stop until they do something, they might stop for breath but they never completly give in.
And remember this, falling is not failing, we only fail when we neglect to get back up again. As my pshychology teacher so rightly told me, if you fall off your horse 8 times, you get back on 9.
Keep Smiling :)
Love, Tutti-Frutti
