Fall Down Seven Times, Get Up Eight

Today’s quote reminds us that there is no shame in falling, only in staying down.

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” – Confucius

Where do you pick yourself up each time you fall? Give yourself some credit — you deserve it.

Where do you stay down? What could you change to help yourself get up each time? Change a belief? An association? A relationship? Your environment?
