Get up again that will give you more motivation to persevere

I want you to ask yourself something, if you are walking and you fall, are you going to remain on the ground? If you are a sensible person, then the answer is no. You are going to get up, dust yourself off, ands start walking again. I encourage you to apply this same principle in whatever that you do in life. Learn from your mistakes and keep getting up. Use the wisdom that you’ve gained and find your way around the obstacle. Dig through it, go around it, go under it, go over it, if you keep on trying, you will eventually get through the obstacle or you will find a better way. Don’t allow your discouragement to weaken you until the point that you give up on everything. I’m not teaching that you should be reckless. As you keep on pressing on, use wisdom and don’t be afraid to ask for help!
