This quote made me think of my daughter who is climbing on everything these days. She has such confidence though to keep trying until she makes it to the top of the chair. There is no stopping her. She is always standing back up to start climbing again.
I wish I had had more confidence in myself in the past to know that it was ok to fall a few times (or many times) before reaching the top. I always got back up and tried again, but it was always like a broken record. I just kept falling and I got tired of always falling. I fell in my career feeling like I was never going to find my niche. Each time, I didn’t give up. I kept trying to find it. It was a struggle though. I fell in friendships, never understanding what happened, but I continued to get back up and try again. I didn’t realize that all of this climbing, falling, standing and climbing would get me to where I am today. I’m still not completely confident like my daughter is, but seeing her gives me strength to keep climbing.
Where are you in your climb or fall? Keep climbing and if you fall get back up! If you need a push, you are not alone. Please open up and talk to someone.
